My Vitriol
My Vitriol are a relatively new band, who posses talent which has not been seen since the likes of the manics street preachers and nirvana.
the band consist of:
Som Wardner, vocals and guitar
Carolyn Bannister, bass and backing vocals
Seth Taylor, guitar
Ravi Kesavaram, drums
The name 'My Vitriol' comes from a book by Graham Green, entitled Brighton Rock.
quoting from a book review, and the official mv site:
Set in 40's Brighton among the criminal rabble, the book depicts the tragic career of a 17-year-old boy named Pinkie whose primary ambition is to head a underground gang. His calamitous childhood and repressed sexuality combine to create a force of evil that is both fascinating and repellent.'
All the time, Pinky carries with him a bottle of vitriol, ready to throw in the face of anyone threatening him.
[read the book, it really is very good]
