‘Hey Violet have today released their debut ‘I Can Feel It’ EP which has stormed straight to #2 on iTunes.

The EP drops on the day they embark on a nationwide US arena tour supporting 5SOS.

If the members of the Breakfast Club were musical phenoms who got into a case of Manic Panic one day after school and formed a band, they would look and sound a lot like Los Angeles-based teenage pop-rockers Hey Violet.

Bassist and frontwoman Rena Lovelis and her sister, drummer, Nia, started playing in bands back in middle school and eventually bonded with guitarist Casey Moreta and keyboardist/guitarist Miranda Miller over a shared desire to create the Hey Violet sound — high-spirited pop-rock influenced by everyone from Incubus to Avril Lavigne to No Doubt.

Now this crew of four BFF’s have signed with 5 Seconds of Summer’s label, Hi or Hey Records, and ventured out on their first global tour, opening for the Australian band across the US, Canada, and Europe this summer.

Today they begin the U.S. leg of the tour just as their debut EP I Can Feel It is climbing iTunes Charts around the world. “It’s a great challenge to play to so many different audiences,” Nia says. “We really want to see what kind of a response our songs get!”
