2- What does your name stand for and what was the runner up?
Sharp
Violet- was taken from Violet Sharp, the nanny for Charles Lindbergh's
family. She was a suspect in the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping scandal. Our
name is Sharp Violet not Violet Sharp we won't steal your baby but we
will steal your heart.
The original name that we had for the first month or so of being a band was actually Brazen Broads. We're glad we changed it!

4- Describe each band member using a meal.
Liz- Pistachio Ice Cream: rare and hard to find but when you do you're glad you did

Marie- Baked Alaska: because someone has to be unnecessarily extra.
Jess- Cheesecake: enough said
Jasmine- Paula Deen Special 10 Butter Sticks Poundcake: because she is heart stopper

6- For or not being described as "female fronted"?
6- For or not being described as "female fronted"?
Normally, gender shouldn't matter but it's still so rare to see females in / fronting bands. Describing bands as female fronted helps distinguish the band and could lead to a more diverse music scene. We don't mind being described as female fronted/ all girl band.
7- Are you signed on a label and why?
We are 100% DIY! We write and record all of our music in Liz's basement, we have our own studio there. Alli designs our album cover art and Jasmine designs our merch. If a label wanted to sign us, we're definitely interested but for now it's fun doing everything on our own. We created our own "label" called Under The L, after the town we're from Lindenhurst.
8- What's the most punk thing you've seen on tour/in a show?
We
played a backyard show called “Transcentennal Piszazz Partay”, it was
spectacular disaster! One of the bands we played with brought different
props for their performance. The singer proceeded to urinate in a random
sink in front of everyone and then smashed it with a hammer. Luckily,
none of us got hit with shrapnel piss sink. As if that wasn’t enough for
one show, the cops came and broke up the show during the second song of
our set. The cops threatened to take our instruments if we continued
playing, it was very fitting that the song we were playing (Boys and
Candy) features the lyrics “You’ll never take me alive”. Definitely, the
strangest and funniest show we ever played.
Second
Choice-One time we played a show and some garbage human yelled "show us
your tits" during our set. After the show, Jasmine hunted down the guy
and confronted him asking if he would like someone saying that to his
Mom.
