The March Violets are an English goth rock band formed in the 1980s in the city of Leeds, incorporating singers of both sexes, drum machine rhythms and echo-laden electric guitar, much in the style of scene mates and fellow Leeds residents The Sisters of Mercy. Seven March Violets singles reached the UK Indie Chart; the Natural History LP also was an indie hit (#3, 1984)
History
The original band members met while at Leeds University in 1981. Tom Ashton and Laurence „Loz“ Elliot played lead and bass guitar, while vocals were handled by both Simon „Detroit“ Denbigh and Rosie Garland. Percussion was provided by a drum machine, a feature that a number of bands in the burgeoning Leeds scene had in common. Fellow student Andrew Eldritch, lead singer of The Sisters of Mercy, released the band’s debut 7“ on his Merciful Release label in 1982. The „Religious As Hell“ EP consisted of four tracks that reflected strong punk and garage rock influences in the guitar work, along with contrasting vocals from the two singers. Denbigh’s vocal style varied from conversational to harsh yelling, whereas Garland’s voice was high-pitched and almost operatic. The band garnered positive reviews for this first release, which was soon followed in 1983 by a second single for Merciful Release. „Grooving in Green“ featured a more confident-sounding production, aided by louder drum machine beats, and it received greater positive reaction from the UK national music press.

I think the problem with silent songs might have been fixed as seem to have sound on crow baby playing it in the last.fm stand alone radio client.

I sent Tom a message on MySpace to let him know about the problem with silent songs. 1) He is not sure how they got uploaded to begin with 2) they are working to resolve it with last.fm hopefully it gets resolved!

I wasn't aware of those two Some Kind of Wonderful songs until now - yeesh. What was up with that whole "formerly goth bands recording lame pop songs for John Hughes movies" thing, anyway?
