Edit history

Starting in the late September of 2009, Brisbane band 'I AM VILLAIN' is growing by the day. The 5 piece have only been together for a short time, but their dynamic infusion of pop-punk and melodic hardcore is starting to make waves in the local scene. The members Andy Power (vocals), Peter Eckel (guitar/vocals), Lewis Usher (guitar), Scott Eckel (drums) and Brett Galea (bass) all come from different musical backgrounds from punk and hardcore to classical/orchestral training and it all adds to the inventiveness of their sound. Drawing influence from bands like Blink-182, Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals, one gets a sense of what to expect, but these guys continue to surprise and impress the crowds with their unique spin and energetic live shows. After only a handful of shows, I Am Villain can already lay claim to an impressive resume of supports for such a young band, having shared the stage with US pop-punksters MEST as their first ever live show, as well landing a support show
