Violent Soho

Violent Soho

VIOLENT SOHO hail from Brisbane Australia's bible belt suburb of Mansfield, and their music is a reaction against everyone and everything. Their flannel and denim armor are a perfect accompaniment to the soundtrack of raging riffs, battering guitars, distorted angry vocals, and a rhythm section that threatens to flatten buildings. Luke Boerdam (Vocals, Guitar), James Tidswell (Guitar), Luke Henery (Bass), and Michael Richards (Drums) came together half a decade ago to make music that screamed from their souls and split your eardrums in the process. Wearing their influences firmly emblazoned across their home made fan tee shirts, Violent Soho are as honest as it gets, completely and utterly the real deal. Self funding and self releasing their first full length, We Don't Belong Here, (a collection of demos only ever released in Australia) VIOLENT SOHO have toured extensively throughout Australia, playing shows with bands such as The Black Keys, The Bronx, Black Francis and ...Trail Of Dead, as well as shows in the UK and the US including an appearance at UK's infamous hard rock music festival, Download earlier this year.

Tracks like ‘Jesus Stole My Girlfriend’, ‘Love Is a Heavy Word’, ‘Son of Sam’ and ‘Bombs Over Broadway’ spit out everything that is good about the bands heavy, hard and enormous attitude - something different that is long forgotten in this disposable electro nu-age of music. Look for their full length debut album on Ecstatic Peace / Universal in stores and online March 2010!
