Interview with "A New Violet"

The Hook and Bridge Podcast

Ever want to throw a bag in the car, leave the stale routine behind, and floor it toward something that feels alive again? That’s the pulse beating through our conversation with Beth from A New Violet—a rock vocalist with a punk heart—fresh off the electricity of Warped Tour and deep in the craft of songs that move fast, hit hard, and actually say something.
We dive into 66, a highway anthem that doubles as a personal dare: escape the four walls, grab the person who gets you—or go alone—and chase a life that breathes. Beth opens up about the layers hidden in the lyric, from nostalgia and romance to self-motivation when you’re stuck. We unpack the new EP, The Heat Is Getting Hotter, calling out the line the heat is getting hotter, I’m burnt for a reason and exploring how the best hooks invite you back to discover the message underneath. Conformity takes the punk crown on the tracklist, a fast, defiant refusal to live by someone else’s plan or timeline, while Runaway channels a real friendship rift into a cathartic sing-along that still hits after the dust settles.
Along the way, we get into the studio process behind This Is My Life with Orlando’s Red Lion Studio, talk self-taught guitar roots, and debate hooks versus bridges—the hooks pull you in, but the bridge can turn a good song great. Beth shares why genre boxes feel too tight, how rock muscle and punk attitude can live in the same chorus, and why evolving sound is a feature, not a flaw. If you’re hunting for new rock music with real guitars, big choruses, and lyrics that stand for something, you’ll find plenty to add to your queue.
