THE MARCH VIOLETS came out of Leeds in the early 80s, label-mates of SISTERS OF MERCY. Releasing six singles, they were a constant presence in the UK indie charts, hitting the top two spots with "Snakedance", "Deep" and "Walk Into The Sun". They never got around to recording an album - their only "80"s long-players, "Natural History" in the UK and "Electric Shades" in the USA, were compilations. Eventually they signed to a major label and were groomed for a USA breakthrough, performing in the 1987 "Some Kind of Wonderful" movie. However they were asked to make too many compromises and split up.
