Ref: 24571
CD in digipak with a 12 pages booklet! “Crocodile Promises”, the all new album from legendary post-punk/goth rock act The March Violets builds upon the band's 40 year legacy. Founding members Rosie Garland and Tom Ashton are now joined by bassist Mat Thorpe (who already contributed to the 2007 mini-Album ‘Trinity EP'). “Crocodile Promises” finds the March Violets in top form, creating a reinvigorated take on it's trademark boundary-shredding goth-tinged post punk. They not only keep the spirit alive, but they are also a strong live-act, as they proved (among others) in an impressive way at last years WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN!
