Biography
Formed by former members of Lansing-Dreiden in autumn 2007, New York's Violens derives its name from a combination of "violence" and "violins." Jorge Elbrecht (vocals, guitar), Iddo Arad (vocals, synthesizer), Ben Brantley (bass), and Kris King (drums) became a local sensation after playing their first show in October 2007, with many fans comparing them to Philadelphia's Lilys. (The band cites the Zombies, the Byrds, Wire, and the Violent Femmes among their influences.) Violens released their self-titled EP on the Static Recital label in March 2008.
