A New Violet marry Riot Grrrl nods with modern pop-punk on “Sixty-Six”
A New Violet are back with their first new music since late 2023, gilt-edged single, “Sixty-Six”.
The quartet display seamlessly sharp transitions as they blend gritty punk with searing melodies, the track shining an apt spotlight into the sonic soul of Beth Vandal & co.
On the track aesthetic, Vandal shares: “Sixty-Six” is a late-night drive on cracked asphalt — chipped paint, dirty floors, and a heart that refuses to stall.”
With hometowns ranging from Chile to Baltimore and influences ranging NOFX to Animals as Leaders, the A New Violet hone a sharp mix of gritty punk and melodic alternative rock.
Fist pumping “Runaway” was the first single under the A New Violet moniker, with subsequent EP, The Heat is Getting Hotter coming as a statement-making collection in late 2023, showing a cohesive maturity and conviction in their delivery, despite their newcomer status. The record was rambunctious iteration of the genre, dressed in both old and new school influence and a wave of blossoming pop sensibility.

Back with their first single in almost two years, A New Violet put their punk foot forward with the resonating, attitude filled “Sixty-Six”, a nod to the Riot Grrrl movement of the early 90s, but as relevant as ever in 2025.
