Villains "Lonely Bastard" song premiere

Villains unveil the first single from their upcoming debut album, Freudian Slip.

Villains

Illinois bruisers Villains recently announced that they will release their debut full-length Freudian Slip on November 11. This is an entirely DIY effort, as the album was self-produced and recorded by the band in the studio of drummer Cody Ratley, and will be self-released.

In advance of the LP's street date, we've partnered with the band to officially premiere Freudian Slip's first single, "Lonely Bastard." (By the way, if you purchase a Villains t-shirt here, you'll receive an instant download of the track). Check out it right now below, and be sure to keep up with Villains on Facebook, as they've got a slew of upcoming tour dates.

villians needs ben back or this new guy has to work on his lows

anonymous 9/23/2014 11:38:58 AM

absolutely love this band. But whats going on with that snare drum? and yes vocals could use a bit of lows. Great song non the less

That was REALLY f*cking bad. The guys in Villains seem like nice enough dudes, but it's pretty obvious from this that just like Sworn In they're just a studio hype band that falls to pieces without razor-sharp production. Kind of a shame but who can feel bad for trend-hoppers who misstep?

villains make my wiener dance

anonymous 9/23/2014 12:38:35 PM

Hell yes

People who think Villains sounds like Sworn In are the dumbest people and know nothing about the Illinois heavy music scene. Kingmaker, Barrier, Villains, and Sworn In could all fit on a show together but any true fan knows that they are all different in their own way. Let's be honest everyone hates Sworn In now because they are "emo" or whatever so everyone hates any bands associated with them? The Death Card was an awesome album and Freudian Slip is going to be just as good in its own way.

support nu wave metal and the #nMWo

I feel like villians and sworn in and almost ever other band like this sound the same. Not saying they suck, just saying, originality and personal twists and like, little personality traits in this band are lacking, whatever, its not my life. Do whatcha do, boys.

anonymous 9/23/2014 4:46:09 PM

who the f*ck ever hoped these guys to kill themselves, please f*ck off, how can you even say something that harsh to anyone for doing what they like. Get some help you sad f*ck.

anonymous 9/23/2014 7:47:29 PM

can't wait for this album to drop xoxo devin

anonymous 9/23/2014 9:10:29 PM

this is sick

anonymous 9/23/2014 9:34:59 PM

bands from lake county need to stop making music.

anonymous 9/24/2014 6:52:24 AM

Saw these guys for the first time a few days ago. They put on one hell of a show. They are NOT a studio band. I enjoy how different the vocals are. They sound frantic, chaotic, and desperate.

can we switch the genre of this so metal music doesn't have to be associated with this smut.

anonymous 9/24/2014 1:28:58 PM

Reminds me of newer Tony Danza. Pretty rad.

anonymous 9/24/2014 7:40:19 PM

Scarlet was awesome back in '03

anonymous 9/24/2014 8:26:21 PM
