It's out on October 22nd...

The debut album from *Viola Beach* is coming to vinyl.

The band tragically died in 2016, four musicians - along with their manager - taken at a cruelly young age.

The story seemed to deeply affect the nation, with Coldplay stepping to one side during their Glastonbury headline set as part of a very special tribute.

Viola Beach's self titled debut album was collated posthumously and released to widespread acclaim, and it's now coming to vinyl.

The rainbow coloured picture disc - a reference to a now famous photo of the band - arrives on October 22nd, released by Fuller Bean Records, the label set up by Viola Beach and their manager.

Singer Kris Leonard's mother Lisa Leonard comments: “I would like to thank SJM and other organisations for the continued support we as families have received. I am very proud that the Boys album will be released on Vinyl. I’m sure Kristian would have been too. Kris and the boys' lives will continue through their music.”

The family of Tomas Love add: “The family of Tom would like to thank everyone at SJM & Communion Records who have made this re-release possible and to everybody out there who has listened to their music over the past 5 years. As a family we are immensely proud of Tom and the re-release of the albums is a lasting tribute to the boy's passion, music and friendship.”
