With Violet is an East Coast alt-pop band hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland, blending infectious pop hooks with rock sensibilities and funk-inflected flair. Since reforming in 2021, they’ve captivated audiences with dynamic live shows and a fresh, genre-defying sound that’s earned comparisons to Glass Tiger, Arkells, and Lake Street Dive. The band—Sarah Newell (Vocals & Saxophone), Pete (Vocals & Keyboards), Matthew Cadigan (Guitar), Spencer Fitz (Bass), and Hunter Madden (Drums)—has quickly become a mainstay in Newfoundland’s music scene. Winners of the 2025 Music NL Pop Group of the Year award, the band continues to build on the success of their debut full length album, Saturday Nights In Your Sunday Best, which passed 30,000 streams and charted at #2 on college radio. They’ve played major festivals like Iceberg Alley and George Street Festival, opening for acts like The Beaches, Tokyo Police Club, Walk Off The Earth, Down With Webster and Barenaked Ladies.
