The Violents were an instrumental group from Stockholm, Sweden who recorded in the early 60's.
Their first album came out in 1962 and was called "Strings Of Hits." The first song on the record was titled "Liebestwist" and was banned on Swedish radio because it was considered a violation of a classic work, that being "Liebestraum" by the composer Franz Liszt.
They fared better with the last song on the record titled "Alpens Ros"("Rose Of The Alps"), which made it to number five on the charts in Sweden in 1962, but when it was released in the U.S., it went nowhere.
