Cold Violets
Los Angeles, California, United States
About
Cold Violets exists at the intersection between the infectious rhythms of 1980s post-punk, the earnest, poetic lyricism of 1950s American folk music, and the uninhibited freedom of present-day indie rock. Cold Violets is constantly developing new material and ensuring each live show is full of surprises. What began as simply a live band assembled to perform singer-songwriter Sergio A. Soto's country and folk songs in front of an audience has quickly evolved into an eclectic, forward-thinking four-piece, constantly finding new ways to reinterpret its vast, diverse influences into something new, exciting, and full of energy. With Eliot Dewberry providing synth and lead-guitar, Wes Dewberry and Max McDonald on bass and drums, respectively, the members of Cold Violets are consistently pushing each other into new and exciting sonic areas. Cold Violets' (formerly <a href="spotify:artist:5Pf3XXZsSU30WUnK4jkYsl" data-name="The Moving Pictures">The Moving Pictures</a>) stylistic range is fully on display in their two earliest recordings, from the loud, punk rock energy of "Temper Temper" to the soft, alt-country dreaminess of "Dummy." Cold Violets released "The Silhouette" EP in 2018, a collection of synth-heavy songs drawing from the band's love of 1980s post punk and new wave. <a href="spotify:artist:6oMlxc1ROqx4gQhsSzqxEx" data-name="Darkplay">Darkplay</a> is the latest collaborative project from two of Cold Violets members.
