About Dogviolet
Known for drawing on plant symbolism and folklore, Dogviolet channel Mother Nature to tell stories spanning social injustice, familial challenges, sapphic desire and the power of community. Their influences include The Cranberries, Silversun Pickups, Warpaint, Wolf Alice and Alice in Chains. Blending grunge, goth and 90s rock sounds, Dogviolet deliver chorus-drenched dissonant guitars and weaving rhythms offset by strong resonant vocals, delicate harmonies and sharp spoken word.
The London-based four-piece was formed by wife duo Naz Toorabally (songwriter, lead vocals, guitar) and Ella Patenall (producer, lead guitar, vocals). Completing the lineup are Lauren Allpress on drums and Brodie McBride on bass.
They’ve taken the London music scene by storm, having already shared the stage with some of their favourite artists and bands including Heartworms, ĠENN, GHUM, Problem Patterns and Desperate Journalist. In March 2025, they released their follow-up single Dandelion which has received support from Notion, She Makes Music and Lock Magazine.
