Wonder Villains make blistering two minute anti-pop songs full of homemade synth sounds, tight clean guitar riffs and some of the catchiest vocals you’ll hear all year - and which has made them the darlings of the likes of Huw Stephens who picked their new single 'Blonde' for the 'Next Hype' feature slot last month while sitting in for Zane Lowe.
'Blonde' had it's world premiere on Feb 28 on Stephens' own Radio 1 show and is now available to stream below.
The band are brother and sister Kieran and Eimear Coyle, Cheylene Murphy and Ryan McGroarty from Derry. Wonder Villains developed out of Kieran and Eimear playing guitar and singing together as they grew up writing songs about everything going on around them. Cheylene was born into a classical household and spent her day’s playing the violin in orchestras and learning TV themes on the piano. Her inclusion into the band came in 2004, becoming friends with Eimear and turning her attention to jamming in her garage and making podcasts. The Wonder Villains guitarist, Ryan, grew up perfecting the riffs and moves of his heroes KISS and originally jammed with Kieran in a different band until everyone decided that pop was the way forward, and the Wonder Villians were born as we now know them.
