The Universe of Violet Saturn
Interview by Ken Morton - Photo by Jack Lue
Brother-and-sister act Violet Saturn summon the raw energy and provocations of Pop-Punk and Alternative with a fresh, Gen Z twist. 17-year-old lead singer Lauren Carr Reed brings powerful vocals and an impressive range to the band’s addictive, angsty songs, while 20-year-old Spencer holds down the instrumentals and production, leading the band and its invigorating yet polished rock sound on guitar. Based out of the legendary Los Angeles music scene, Violet Saturn found their music being played on KLOS and would soon be signed with Big Machine/John Varvatos Records! Violet Saturn is set to release their debut album All The Cool Kids on January 27th! The band recently did a photo shoot with photographer Jack Lue and sat down with Highwire Daze to discuss the universe of their dynamic artistry. Read on...
