Tom Ashton

Tom’s unique searing jagged guitar style defines the instrumental sound of the March Violets, and never did what was expected. Raised in Scotland, Tom was fired up by Post Punk: The Scars, Skids, Positive Noise, the Freeze and the early Associates. He decided to pick up a guitar after seeing Echo and the Bunnymen and the Cocteau Twins. Tom has played for The Sisters of Mercy and toured and recorded with Clan of Xymox. He lives deep in the woods of the American Gothic South, the location of his famous music studio Sub Von Studios.
