New March Violets album - pledge your support

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

From Violets HQ:

Here is how this works. We have set a target. We will be releasing the album on our own label and this is the money we feel we need in order to do it justice. It will go on recording and mastering the album so that it sounds as good as it can, and then marketing so that it goes as far as it can. It will also help to get us back out onto the road so that we can play it to you around the world.

Take a look at the list on the right hand side of this page and decide how you would like to get involved with the project and make some pledges.

No money exchanges hands until our target is reached. Simple.

Those of you who pledge will basically be investing in the album, so to make sure you know what you’ve paid for we’ll post ‘pledgers-only’ updates and videos in the ‘Pledgers Only Page’ – our own little site on Pledge – you’ll be able to keep up to date with what’s going on. Demos, rough mixes, videos, blogs and anything else we think you’ll like. We want to do this in a collaborative fashion and really bring you in on the project in a way that just wasn’t possible in the 80’s.

The only pledge HE needs is sold in cans, to buff his head with.

starts off with just the drum machine shuffling along over a clean bassline, and i admit i was a bit worried, but then the riff gets you and the trademark schizoid violets guitars and vox come in...

it's groovy, with the usual amount of violets discordancy.

i think its a good sign for the new material :D

and the lyrics are here:
