Inspired by the resilience of wildflowers and what they can tell us about humanity, Dogviolet channel Mother Nature to tell stories spanning social injustice, familial challenges, sapphic desire and the power of community. Blending grunge, goth and 90s rock influences, the London-based 4-piece deliver chorus-drenched dissonant guitars and weaving rhythms offset by strong resonant vocals, delicate harmonies and sharp spoken word.

Dogviolet was formed by wife duo Naz Toorabally (lead vocals, guitar) and Ella Patenall (lead guitar, vocals) who have been creating music together since meeting at school. They are completed by Lauren Allpress on drums and Brodie McBride on bass.

Since their debut show in August 2022, Dogviolet have gone on to support The Wedding Present on tour and open for some of their favourite artists and bands including Heartworms, ĠENN, GHUM, Problem Patterns and Desperate Journalist.

Now they have announced the release of their debut single ‘Violets’ – a tale of queer awakening and budding young love, drawing on the sapphic symbolism of violets. The single is out on 25 September 2024, followed by their debut headline show at The Victoria, Dalston on 2 October 2024 in celebration of the single.
