  • Bio

    Since their formation in early 2010, Anacortes quintet The Violins have have made a pop-rock splash throughout the Northwest with their bouncy, tender, harmony-laden anthems. With the release of their Caulfield and His Magical Violin E.P. in Summer 2010, the band enjoyed considerable support from the Puget Sound all-ages community, and received steady airplay from Seattle-based indie radio station KEXP. Now, after the March 2011 release of their debut LP, "Before You Die," it seems The Violins are poised for a new level of acclaim. Poppy yet gritty, uplifting and substantive, "Before You Die" displays the band's cohesive ability to construct quirky, honest compositions - all without major-label backing. With their unique musicianship and overflowing energy, The Violins continue to lead audiences of all ages to dance, sing, jump, and howl along.

  • Sounds Like

    "The band mixes more contemporary indie-pop with a rough-hewn 90's sound akin to the slacker anthems of Pavement and Dinosaur Jr., and yet they sound nothing like anyone making music today." -What's Up! Magazine

    Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me.

    I was listening to "Following Bones" in my car today, while driving in the sunshine, and it was perfect. I pressed repeat after the song was over, and listened to it AGAIN. xoxo
