Viola Beach

British rock quartet Viola Beach were a band on the rise, playing Brit-pop with a bit of cheek and optimism like the Kooks or early Arctic Monkeys.

The band's original lineup formed in 2013, with Kris Leonard on guitar/vocals, Jack Dakin on drums, Frankie Coulson on guitar, and Jonny Gibson on bass.

They made their debut at the Cavern Club in Liverpool and released a pair of singles (\
