Hey Violet is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, consisting of Rena Lovelis (bass/lead vocals), Miranda Miller (rhythm guitar/keyboard/vocals), Nia Lovelis (drums/vocals) and Casey Moreta (lead guitar).

Formed in 2008 as Cherri Bomb while its members were still in middle school, the band was originally all-female, consisting of Miller, the Lovelis sisters and lead singer Julia Pierce. In 2013, Pierce left the band and was later replaced by Moreta. In 2015, the band changed their name to Hey Violet, and later on signed to Hi or Hey Records, 5 Seconds Of Summer's partnership of Capitol Records.

Brand New Moves is the title of the new EP, released last week and featuring 3 song, plus 2 alternative versions of the title track: Brand New Moves -the song- is a great, catchy, funky alternative rock/pop rock tune that reminds me of Some Like It Hot by Power Station (remember them?) and Let's Dance by David Bowie (watch the video clicking on the image); Fuqboi is a futile teeny pop-rock song a la early Avril Lavigne; Pure is more interesting than the previous one: an hazy, synth-driven track that sounds like a cross between Blondie and Eighth Wonder.

I will follow Hey Violet's next steps in the business for sure. Meanwhile, I'm inviting you to stream Brand New Moves on Spotify.
