United States Hey Violet, an American pop rock band, has evolved from an all-female hard rock group to achieve commercial success and critical acclaim, touring globally and collaborating with major artists.
Hey Violet found a comfortable partnership with Hopeless Records after their earlier career, releasing music through the label.
Hey Violet collaborated closely with AUSTERE to create visually stunning content, aiming to engage their fan base, increase social media followers, and boost brand presence.
Hey Violet originated in Los Angeles, California, forming in 2008 under the name Cherri Bomb. The initial lineup featured Julia Pierce on lead vocals and guitar, Miranda Miller on rhythm guitar and keyboards, Rena Lovelis on bass, and Nia Lovelis on drums. While still in middle school, the band quickly gained traction as a hard rock group, signing with Hollywood Records in 2011. They released their debut EP, “Stark,” in 2011, and their first studio album, “This Is the End of Control,” in 2012, which charted on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Heatseekers. Cherri Bomb opened for notable acts like the Smashing Pumpkins and Foo Fighters, and performed at international festivals such as Oxegen and the Reading and Leeds Festivals, establishing a significant presence in the rock scene.
In 2013, following Julia Pierce’s departure due to creative differences, the remaining members continued as a trio, with Casey Moreta joining permanently on guitar. This period marked a significant shift in their musical direction. In 2015, they rebranded as Hey Violet and moved towards a pop rock sound. They signed with Hi or Hey Records, a label co-founded by 5 Seconds of Summer, and released their debut EP under the new name, “I Can Feel It,” in July 2015. Hey Violet toured extensively, supporting 5 Seconds of Summer on their “Rock Out with Your Socks Out” and “Sounds Live Feels Live” global tours, which helped them reach a wider audience.
The band’s second EP, “Brand New Moves,” was released in August 2016, featuring the commercially successful single “Guys My Age.” This track charted in the United States, Canada, and Australia, marking a significant milestone in their career. In 2017, they released their second studio album, “From the Outside,” which included the singles “Break My Heart” and “Hoodie.” Throughout their career, Hey Violet received several accolades, including winning the Teen Choice Award for Choice Music: Next Big Thing in 2016. The band released a series of singles and EPs, including “Problems,” “Deep End,” and “Bloom,” before announcing their disbandment in 2024, concluding their journey with the release of their final album, “Aftertaste.”
