No, it's not a Prince cover (nor is it about the same subject matter as Prince's dirty disco classic) but a song about not being quite over someone ("In my head, I still love you"). However, don't expect some dreary lament, this is sparky, spunky, spiky guitar pop with attitude and balls. The gorgeous Sally-Anne Marsh croons and swoons whilst backed by what sounds like Satan's helpers in Hawaiian shirts. The main song is like an evil Kylie fronting the B52s and the 2nd track is a gorgeous ballad with a dark undercurrent. Mad buggers and all the better for it. LOGO magazine

Brand Violet bring a whole new meaning to sexy swagger within pure pop-rock music, as 'Alien Hive Theme' literally soars as an instant classic anthem lifted into memory by singer Sally-Anne Marsh's exquisitely versatile vocals and bass grooves that are too big for this mint song alone. Hardly one-trick ponies, this 4-piece proceed to show something of a darker side with 'Retrovision Coma USA,' coming on like a musical Addams Family, though the vibe is always upbeat and perpetually quirky. In fact the vibes from these two songs are so good, Brand Violet sound set to storm the charts with catchy music that is actually totally rocking too in its 'pop' wake. 'RetrovisionÉ' is sheer cool. Brand VioletÉare no fools. JUXTA
