The Ultraviolets are waiting ever so patiently. Blending elements of noise rock, post-hardcore, surf, and blues, they coalesced in Grand Rapids amidst a big friendship. With Austin on vocals, Jon on guitar, Jim Bob on bass, and Victoria on drums, they channel the spirit of your favorite nineties and noughties acts while slipping into something fresh. If you crave music that scrapes a deep itch in your brain, unable to be quantified or explained, The Ultraviolets are here to help. This goes beyond amplifier worship — is it the love of performance, the love of music? Some say “the band” itself is all a performance, from practice to recording and all the curious interaction between. So what do The Ultraviolets want? To play.
