GENRE BOUNDARIES ARE DEAD. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR DEATH EATER STYLE PURE BLOOD TENDENCIES, GRANDAD. THE REST OF US ARE MIXING THE STREAMS, FINDING SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING. ARE HEY VIOLET STILL ROCK? WERE THEY EVER? WHO CARES. THIS IS A BAND WHO DEAL IN ONE CURRENCY. HUGE, GIGANTIC BANGERS, AND WITH THEIR DEBUT 'FROM THE OUTSIDE' THEY'VE HIT THE MOTHERLODE

There are far more interesting stories to be told than the one asking if Hey Violet are a rock band. For over a decade the likes of Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy and Linkin Park have been taking a little bit of everything they love and making it their own. More recently, Twenty One Pilots and PVRIS have been more focused on the art, than what colours they’re allowed to use. It’s 2017, and anything goes. Hey Violet aren’t wasting their time worrying about how the rest of the world views them because they’ve got stories of their own to tell. Questions of authenticity are shrugged off - “Any artist getting up on stage and doing their own thing is authentic if they feel their music” - and instead, a sure-footed confidence reigns.
