My Vitriol are a British alternative rock band,[1] formed in 1999 in London. The band currently comprises singer and guitarist Som Wardner, drummer Ravi Kesavaram, guitarist Seth Taylor and bassist Tatia Starkey.[2] The band had success with their debut album Finelines in 2001, which spawned three top-40 hit singles on the UK Singles Chart,[3] before announcing a hiatus in 2002. The band were credited as spearheading a new shoegazing movement, dubbed nu gaze.[4] They released new material in 2007, and released limited fanbase album The Secret Sessions in October 2016.[5] The band name is taken from the Graham Greene novel Brighton Rock.[6]
