The Palma Violets made quite a splash in England and beyond a few years ago. The dual singers Samuel Fryer (guitar) and Chilli Jesson (bass) often shared a microphone and were compared to The Libertines' Pete Doherty and Carl Barat.
Alas, they split up. Sam is now in Gently Tender (possibly the worst name for a rock band ever), and Chilli is now launching a solo career. "St. Vitamin" is his first solo single. I have to say, it rocks much more than Sam's recent tepid offerings.
Best of luck to Chilli in his new endeavors!
Here's some Palma Violets videos I shot (sorry the club was so dark) in Portland in 2013, starting with their catchy first single, "Best of Friends", NME's Song of the Year (2012):
