The March Violets' latest album, Crocodile Promises, marks a strong return for the reformed post-punk band that originally made waves in the early 80s. Now composed of founding members Rosie Garland (vocals) and Tom Ashton (guitar), joined by Mat Thorpe (bass, vocals), the band revisits and evolves their signature sound. The album starts off with 'Hammer the Last Nail,' a track about breaking free from toxic relationships. Garland's vocals blend seamlessly with shimmering guitar riffs, proving the band's chemistry is as strong as ever. 'Bite the Hand,' with its assertive yet measured energy, explores themes of betrayal and ingratitude, while 'Virgin Sheep' offers a rock-driven number with heavy bass and whispered vocals, hinting at deeper metaphors. The slow-burning 'Kraken Awakes' seems to address themes of deceit, subtly building tension throughout. The previously unreleased 'Mortality' finds its place alongside newer tracks, maintaining the album's cohesive feel. 'Crocodile Teeth,' fast-paced and filled with glistening guitar lines, might symbolise controlling relationships, while 'Heading for the Fire' invites introspection with its compelling vocals and mid-song guitar solo. Closing with 'This Way Out,' a hypnotic, pulsing track, Crocodile Promises will resonate with long-time fans while attracting new listeners to their timeless sound.
