We posted Video Villain’s ‘Fearless’ video a few months ago but we’re posting it again to remind you that it finally sees single release today.
It’s been a long time coming for VV, so let’s hope their brand of noisy Indie-ElectroPop srikes a chord with the masses and they receive the attention they deserve.
‘Fearless’ is available from iTunes or TuneTribe with more outlets coming.
It looks like all things Video Villain are about to blow up! The girls have premiered their first proper music video, for ‘Fearless’ and it’s pretty damn slick.
As a music fan, writer, promoter and musician myself it’s always really exiting to watch a band from infancy to something really special. e.r. was, I believe, the first place to write about Lucy and Marie, way back in the distant past of February 2009, after they rose from the ashes of a broken Dead Disco. Carving their mark with raw, emotive electronics on a Little Boots obsessed summer you could tell they were, and still are, bound for greatness.
It’s taken a while but with a brand new website, their first live show supporting Midnight Juggernauts, the video for ‘Fearless’ and an EP due out it seems like Video Villain’s time is finally here. A change really is going to come!
A dark and dangerous video, like VV’s music and a great introduction to the band. I also really like Lucy and Marie’s face-to-face synth rig, I hope they carry that over into their live shows,
Keep your ear to the ground for Video Villain news and go show them some of your finest MySpace love!
Strange things are afoot at the Video Villain camp!
It’s been a while since we heard anything from Video Villain but now it looks like their EP (or more!) might be getting a proper release!
Keep your eyes peeled!
It strikes this blogger that New Wave band Dead Disco splitting up was one of the best things to happen to UK music in the past few years. On the one hand it gave us Little Boots, and on the other it allowed Marie and Lucy to follow their own path.
That path is Video Villain, who’s demo. I am absolutely loving.
A combination of noisy beats and low-fi synth work provide the backing for some seriously catchy songs, which culminates in something that somehow manages to be raw and harsh yet at the same time incredibly poppy.
There’s nothing really to compare VV to, you’ll hear bits of Curve, maybe bits of Crystal Castles, but the girls have got more of a cool, rock ‘n’ roll, swagger to them. Imagine a bunch of late 70’s New York punks locked in a room with a couple of Korg MS-20’s…
Visit their MySpace page to sample some tracks from Video Villian’s demo.:

My wish for Video Villain is that when they get signed (and they will get signed) the lucky label doesn’t get some producer to polish them up.
Dirty, grungy Electronica all the way!
Currently unsigned (a travesty!), head on over to their MySpace to show them some love and while you’re there pick up a copy of their limited edition demo..
