The March Violets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The March Violets were an English goth rock band in the 1980s, incorporating singers of both sexes, drum machine rhythms and echoey electric guitar, much in the way of scene mates The Sisters of Mercy, who also originated from the city of Leeds.

The band appeared in the film Some Kind of Wonderful.
