Violet Mindfield, The
From The Gutter With Love
The Violet Mindfield are a five-piece rock band hailing from the Inland Empire region of Southern California. Over the course of a decade, they have developed a sound reflective of their Southern California roots as well as their love of all things 1960s. They released a first self-titled album in 2014, and have since built a discography of albums, singles and EPs through various labels. Their 2025 album Distorted Portrait (via Outro Records) reflects their matured blend of retro-garage-psych plus refined songwriting. They have toured Europe and the UK, their live shows are described as energetic, loud, fun, with a hint of retro-style flair and devoted to delivering the visceral spirit of garage rock. Their ever expanding sound, influenced by classic English freakbeat, tough R&B, and even gospel, is showcased on the four songs of this new EP, their second release on Rogue Records.
