Emerging from the vibrant post-punk scene of early 1980s Leeds, The March Violets crafted a distinctive blend of dark, shimmering guitars, pulsing rhythms, and haunting dual vocals. Often associated with the goth movement, their sound fused energy and elegance, earning them a devoted underground following through releases on the legendary Rebirth and Merciful Releases labels. After initial success with tracks like “Snake Dance,” the band reunited for acclaimed performances and new material, proving their enduring influence on alternative and gothic rock.
