Invasion US!!

Hailing from Washington, DC no band in the history of Rock N Roll has ever looked, or sounded like The Villains 21. Nor has there been a band that was so full and heavy sonically, while at the same time so melodic. Upon first listen, The Villains 21 will remind listeners of bands like Linkin Park, Sevendust and Puddle Of Mudd. Guitar Player and producer, Ken 'K.O.' Olden honed his guitar playing skills in the hardcore/punk music scene and his song writing, along with Se7en, sets the stage for the deep and saturated tones that lay as the foundation for The Villains 21 musical canvas. If K.O. and guitarist Dennis 'DB' Bunn's chords are the broad strokes on the canvas, then lead singer Shydi 'Se7en' Evans' voice is the fine tipped brush, filling in all the details and bringing the image to life. Se7en not only brings the stage energy of Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against The Machine, but can have the voice of an angel when needed and other times the voice of a devil. Holding down the intense rhythm that The Villains 21's epic progressions require is drummer Kenny "Kaos" Piper. His unique power-drumming style gives fans no choice but to feel the beat in every part of their souls. The Villains 21 win over music lovers with catchy melodies and hooks that are musical candy to audience members' ears and every time they go back to listen to a Villains record, they will hear another piece of the delicately placed layers of sound and performance that may remind them of such bands as Smashing Pumpkins or the Cure. This is why K.O. states: "Make no mistake, The Villains 21's goal is to forever change the future of Rock N Roll."

So if you haven't heard, here's a preview of what's to come.........ENJOY!!
