Palma Violets were an English band from Lambeth, London. The band formed in 2011, based on the musical partnership of frontmen Samuel Fryer and Chilli Jesson. The band's musical output is primarily in the indie rock genre, with some garage rock and psychedelic influences. Palma Violets' first single, "Best of Friends", was voted NME's song of the year for 2012, and their debut album 180 was released on 25 February 2013.

Palma Violets have been hyped as ‘the new Libertines’, saddled with saving guitar music and signed in a whirlwind to Rough Trade, so it’s no surprise ‘180’ sounds rushed – but it works. Whole heaps of thumping drums, choppy guitars and rickety organs thrash and clatter anarchically along, nodding to The Clash and The Troggs, while Sam Fryer and Chilli Jesson howl over the top. The album is also packed with in-jokes – the kind most bands iron out before letting their songs anywhere near the public.

Palma Violets are a young band who've already received ecstatic acclaim from the most excitable parts of the English music press. Like so many scrappy, pub-rocking British blokes before them, Palma Violets face an awkward proposition when presenting its debut record 180 on this side of the pond. Because they've received ecstatic acclaim from the most excitable parts of the English music press, they will inevitably be described as hyped or (worse) over-hyped. And this will impact how 180 is perceived in this country, because of the aforementioned long line of scrappy (and hyped!) pub-rocking British blokes that have tried and failed to make an impression in the States.
