"Crocodile Promises", the all new album from legendary post-punk/goth rock act The March
Violets builds upon the band's 40 year legacy. Founding members Rosie Garland and Tom
Ashton are now joined by bassist Mat Thorpe (who already contributed to the 2007 mini-
Album 'Trinity EP').
"Crocodile Promises" finds the March Violets in top form, creating a reinvigorated take on it's
trademark boundary-shredding goth-tinged post punk. They not only keep the spirit alive, but
they are also a strong live-act, as they proved (among others) in an impressive way at last
years WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN!
The March Violets are a legendary Goth band from Leeds/UK. They started in 1981 as one
of Leeds' four famous drum machine bands and were label mates in the beginning of The
Sisters Of Mercy. Their first two singles (Religious as Hell and Grovving in Green, both 1982)
indeed were out on Andrew Eldritch's Merciful Release label. The band released a number
of highly successful singles under ever changing line-ups (incl. William Faith of Faith & the
Muse and The Bellwether Syndicate) between 1982 and 1986 and 2 compilation of their
singles appeared in 1984 and 1985 - but there was no official debut album until year 2013!
