Description

Cover art for the band Victory Garden. Once again, another band chose to name themselves Victory Garden. They also don't particularly talk about growing vegetables or World War II, however, the tone throughout their music is somewhat haunted and sad, talking about things that have been left behind. This fits with the mood of the Second World War. Men went away, to the other side of the world, and left their families behind. Even though they were so far away they could not forget what was left behind. The music that they sing reproduced the feelings from the darker and sadder side of the growing a victory garden during the Second World War. These thoughts are equally valid and equally present in growing a garden as the pride and patriotic feeling that accompanied it. By naming the band Victory Garden, this band is continuing the memory of the World War II victory garden.
