Rock’n’roll four-piece Palma Violets take on the O2 Academy Oxford, playing their unique brand of garage, soul and guitar music to their ever-growing fanbase.

The band’s sound can be described as a primitive, wild rock’n’roll music offering echoes of ’60s garage and soul but with a defiant Englishness at its core. The band themselves radiate a ferocious energy, encapsulated in the tense and tactile interplay between Jesson and Fryer but driven forward by the incessant beat of Will Doyle’s drumming.

Often described as the opposite of the last significant development in English guitar music; Arctic Monkeys – who became the first “Myspace band”, harnessing the power of the internet and prompting BBC documentaries and convulsions in major record labels – Palma Violets’ rise has been notable by their total avoidance of the worldwide web.
