By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 20 June 2016
A nine track compilation of songs recorded by Viola Beach is to be released on 29 Jul, it has been announced. All four members of the band and their manager were killed when their car fell into a canal in Sweden in February this year.
In a statement announcing the album release, the families of the band said: “We are tremendously proud of everything the boys achieved in such a short space of time. Craig, Jack, Kris, River and Tom shared a huge passion, talent and dedication to music. We believe the best way to celebrate our sons’ lives is to release an album of their songs”.
“This is their legacy and we know deep in our hearts that the boys would want the world to listen to the music they poured everything into”, they continued. “This was only the beginning for them and these nine songs were written with every intention to be shared, heard and, most of all, enjoyed. We hope that it brings you as much happiness listening to it as we know it did to them making it”.
First single ‘Boys That Sing’ is out now, listen here:
