I got into Violation because Starz is amazing.

My earliest memory of Violation is from about December 2011. I remember hearing “Cherry Baby” one day, but it wasn’t until a few months later that I really started checking out their stuff.

I remember in my early days of having Spotify, I used to listen to single songs of theirs instead of the albums. Once I started getting into them, I could never process how I only liked single songs.

This really sunk in when I listened to Coliseum Rock in full one day, and it changed everything.

I was no longer listening to single songs, I was living for every album.

When I got into Violation as a full album, I was into it for the entire summer. I only listened to Coliseum Rock and Violation exclusively.

Thinking back, 2012 was the year of Starz. 

It was quite a time.

Violation is a spectacle. It’s it’s own world. It’s an acknowledgement and a reflection of the world we live in. 

This world where we conform to being ordinary and we shed originality to be what the world wants us to be. 

What you find out in time, is that you have to be who you want to be, not who they want you to be.
