After the announcement that health issues have sadly forced The Jezabels to bow out of this year’s Mountain Sounds Festival, Violent Soho have stepped up to fill the departed band’s place.

Violent Soho will be known to pretty much any Australian who hasn’t found themselves some nice, unusually cheap Sydney real estate under a rock, and their addition to the festival will add some wholly unique energy and style to the affair.

Mountain Sounds Festival hits the Mount Penang Parklands on Saturday February 20. Tickets are available here.
