Reviews"What you’re struck by isn’t the sadness of the story, or the potential that will go unfulfilled, but the energy and exuberance that so obviously went into making it. VIOLA BEACH is an album that, against all odds, leaves you with a smile on your face.", "Most poignant are the songs that offer something a little different from standard, because these are the instances where you can hear the makings of the band proper....'Drunk' swills and swells around a melodic hook that conjures up an image of Vampire Weekend slow dancing with Sylvan Esso."
Additional InformationThe posthumous debut LP from the British indie rock quartet is, despite the tragic events preceding its release, full of youthful hope and possibility.

  • A nice keep-sake for a great band

    It was with a sad heart I learned of the tragic deaths of the band and their manager. When I saw that their Vinyl release was still available and had not been 'pulled', I had no hesitation in buying the album. I believe the band could have gone on to produce some excellent music but thankful that here, in this album, we still have a chance to hear this talented group.

  • Awesomely talented band...

    I awaited this short Album, I must say it was well worth the wait! My six year old daughter loves it, which makes a refreshing change, from Justin Bieber and Little Mix! These boys were all super talented, such a tragic circumstance of release. There legacy will live on through their music, great that they reached No 1, such a tragedy that they never knew how good they really were! They're families should e so very proud!

  • They could have gone far

    A samey melody throughout but Coldplay sold me on Viola Beach by performing Boys That Sing at Glastonbury in 2016. Such promise, taken far too quickly. The four-piece - Kris Leonard, River Reeves, Tomas Lowe and Jack Dakin - died with their manager Craig Tarry in February when their car plunged more than 80ft into a canal in Sodertalje, Sweden. Martin said: "We're on tour right now, and normally what we do at this point in our concert is play Heroes by David Bowie, and it's great - the song, not the version. "But what we're going to do tonight is something a little different ... this year in the beginning of the year, maybe you read about a beautiful young band called Viola Beach, a band that just got signed and were on their first tour of the world and were in a tragic accident and they got taken away and we as a band thought that was just the worst.

  • The more you listen....the more you will love the soulful voices and what the future could have been...

    I bought this Indie Rock CD because of the tragic loss of Viola Beach and because it had made it to no.1 in the albums chart. I thought that perhaps it was the loss of the group that had helped it to no.1. Those thought's left me as soon as I played the CD in my car on my way to work. I keep on playing it because some tracks are soulful and some are upbeat, such amazing singing and the rhythm of the guitar playing is a joy, full of the sounds of the Summer, the more you listen the better it gets.

  • A very fitting tribute.

    This is a very fitting tribute to these guys. The families & those responsible for producing this in their memory should be very proud. I def recommend it.
