Viola Beach is best celebrated for its lightness»

A 9-track album of music by Viola Beach is released via the band's own label Fuller Beans Records. All four members of the band and their manager died after the car they were travelling in came off a road in Sweden and fell into a canal in February. The group's family members have released a statement saying they wanted their music to be heard. "We are tremendously proud of everything the boys achieved in such a short space of time," it says. "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. "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."
