Location: Los Angeles USA and Portishead UKAfter meeting in\u00a0a\u00a0goods return line at Fry\u2019s Electronics in LA in 2005, Philthy Animal Taylor and James Alexander Childs formed\u00a0Little\u00a0Villains. Owen Street completed the line-up, playing bass at early recording sessions. The group worked on many recordings at Phil\u2019s place, James\u2019s studio and Unit\u00a0A\u00a0studio in Palm Springs. James and Phil worked on and off on their recordings up until 2010. They\u2019d discussed recording more, but Phil became ill and returned to England where he had more of\u00a0a\u00a0personal support system. Sadly, Phil died in 2015.\u00a0Little\u00a0Villains\u2019 first album, \u201cPhilthy Lies\u201d, was released on Heavy Psyche Sounds Records in 2019 with the blessing of Phil\u2019s family. Chris Fielden joined the band, playing drums on tour. Owen Childs, James\u2019s nephew, also joined, playing guitar. \u201cThe band features\u00a0a\u00a0heavy and hard rock \u2018n\u2019 roll sound, with fast-paced beats and riffs with\u00a0a\u00a0Mot\u00f6rhead feel. This album has\u00a0a\u00a0classic sound to it, with an old school, raw production. If you were or are\u00a0a\u00a0fan of Mot\u00f6rhead, I\u2019d totally check\u00a0Little\u00a0Villains\u00a0out.\u201d Metal Temple review by Jared Lacks\u00a0\u201cThe music is heavy, raw, and showcases the sheer genius playing style that Taylor was known for. There are plenty of catchy rocking tunes. It has an unpolished sound that has not been over produced. The spirit and legend of Phil \u2018Philthy Animal\u2019 Taylor lives on in\u00a0Little\u00a0Villains. This is surely one that any Mot\u00f6rhead fan will want to have. Honest to goodness rock \u2018n roll.\u201d Metal Rules review by John Haseltine! The second album, \u201cTaylor Made\u201d, was released on Cleopatra Records in 2020, again featuring Phil on drums and James on guitar and vocals. Alan Davey of Hawkwind played bass on the album. Chris Fielden and Owen Childs feature on backing vocals and guitar.\u00a0\u201cI found the music catchy, energetic, melodic, hard rockin\u2019, vibrant and diverse, with\u00a0a\u00a0modern groove. Lots of character within the song structures. There, the musicianship is thrilling. Good solid vibe, great production, excellent song writing and fabulous vocals throughout.\u201d Fireworks Magazine review by Nicky Baldrain.\u00a0Early in 2020,\u00a0Little\u00a0Villains\u00a0recorded their third album, \u201cAchtung Minen\u201d, at The Stujo in LA. All the songs were written and recorded by James Childs, Owen Childs and Chris Fielden. The album received positive reviews and radio play throughout the UK, Europe and the US. It was released on Spira Records in November 2020.\u00a0\u201cAchtung Minen bludgeons you with riffs, it\u2019s brilliant. It\u2019s my featured album of the month. Highly, highly recommended \u2013 it\u2019s just\u00a0a\u00a0great album,\u00a0a\u00a0great bit of metal, great fun.\u201d The Druids Dozen review by Jon Wisbey, DJ of The Sunday Rock Show on BCFM Radio and The Rock Druid Show on Astro Radio.\u00a0\u201cA\u00a0rebel rousing 15 track rock monster that seems set to conquer the metal universe\u2026 it\u2019s rock \u2018n\u2019 roll infused metal with\u00a0a\u00a0strong focus on groove. Bassist James Childs also sings and his vocals sound uncannily like Frank Turner while guitarist Owen Childs is busy mining his instrument for incendiary riffs and drummer Chris Fielden sets about nailing his kit to the studio floor\u2026 the future belongs to the\u00a0Little\u00a0Villains.\u201d Pulse-Alternative Magazine review by Alex Novak.\u00a0Little\u00a0Villains\u00a0had planned to tour the \u201cTaylor Made\u201d album in 2020, but COVID-19 meant all their gigs had to be cancelled.
