VIOLET

Known for their brash and brazen nature, Naarm/Melbourne-based alternative rock outfit Violet creates a wall of sound characterised by unapologetic instruments with a melodic emphasis. formed out of the Djilang/Geelong scene in 2021, Violet consists of Harry Jones (vocals, guitar), Wanda Dohl (drums), and James Elliott (bass). Likened to the sounds of Jeff Buckley, Nothing But Thieves, and Inhaler, Violet made a name for themselves through their enthralling abilities in a live context and their raw and alluring songwriting.

Since their first appearance in the Djilang scene, Violet has gone on to share the stage with bands such as DICE, Good Sniff, Suneden, and BEANS as well as stand out headlining shows across Geelong and Melbourne's most iconic venues and appearances at Queenscliff Music Festival. In August of 2025, Violet's debut EP was released, ‘If Anything At All’ celebrated a closing chapter for the band as they progressed towards a newer and cleaner sound than previously explored.

In January of 2026, Violet embarked on their first Australian tour in support of their single, ‘Collateral’, branching out their new sound and gaining attention in unfamiliar music scenes.
