During an interview with Billboard’s Pop Shop podcast, the band — Rena Lovelis, Miranda Miller, Nia Lovelis, Casey Moreta, and Iain Shipp — dished about working with 5SOS and how they’ve influenced them.
“I think they boosted our confidence as well a little bit,” Nia shared.
Rena adds, “Definitely. We started out as a very shy band.”
Nia also says that Hey Violet and 5SOS have a really great bond with each other: “They came in and they’re really smart. They’re very passionate about music, and they always wanted to understand us.”
“We’ve always had that kind of friendship and respect between us and it makes it easier. We go on road trips and share demos, and I’m trying to think of the right word… ya, mutual respect.”

So super cute! Sabrina Carpenter gave a kiss to the Coca-Cola bear at 102.7 KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball 2016!
The “On Purpose” singer was giving us major Queen Elsa vibes with her braided hair — which we love! We wish we could do this to our hair!
Sabrina, along with Daya, Zara Larsson, Hey Violet and Los 5 all performed at the Village Pre-Show just outside Staples Center last night before the big show.
Congrats to Hey Violet on the release of their new EP!
The band – sisters Rena and Nia Lovelis, and Miranda Miller, and Casey Moreta – dropped Brand New Moves via Caroline Records.
“We mixed the tracks a bit ’80s style with more synths and drums that sound really fat and big with a groove” Rena said. “We’re ready and excited to share what we’ve been working on!”
ICYDK: Hey Violet recently won the 2016 Teen Choice Award for “Next Big Thing” and is currently touring with 5 Seconds of Summer.
