Many bands today try and come up with a gimmick or crazy angle to sell their music and to make themselves apparent to the masses. Rock band The Villains, however, has what might be classified as a novel approach, and that is simply to make great music—music that will remind you of a time when FM radio play helped break bands and arena tours helped to develop those acts.

You may have heard this all before, but you surely haven’t heard a band having as much fun making great music as The Villains in a long time.

The eight tracks on this self-titled debut by The Villains is a look into the eyes and hearts of a band with real life stories to tell.
