The March Violets are an English post-punk and gothic rock band formed in Leeds in 1981.

Their best-known early releases include “Religious as Hell,” “Grooving in Green,” “Snake Dance” and “Walk into the Sun,” many of them collected on Natural History.

Later performances included specialist festival stages at Whitby Goth Weekend and Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig.
