All The Villains • Production
Connect with All The Villains:
All The Villains initially came to prominence in the noughties when Drug Running, the lead track from their first studio album, Espionage (Futureproof) got picked up by American college radio, which led to a USA tour and thereafter shows in UK, USA and Europe. Fifteen years later, having never officially split up, and now being a truly global band, with members living in four different countries, they reunited at Ghost Hit Recording, Massachusetts, to record again. They’d written a dozen songs, which were pretty rough diamonds. Bit by bit, in the arrangement, production and mixing I’ve faceted these to reveal the jewels inside! Lead singer Chris Wood says:
“These new songs are unequivocally the best that we’ve ever created. We just can’t wait to get out there and air them live!”
The Sound:
All the Villains are a guitar based band which bridges rock, Indie and pop. Their lyrics are mature and original, full of meaning, which adds a richness to the experience of producing their music and opens the door to taking the production further than the average Indie band.
Production Approach:
I came on board as producer taking the band through an intense time of rehearsal, arrangement and recording, engineered by Grammy nominee, Andrew Odell, and Jake Rubin.
Back at my studio in Kingston, I’ve been producing the songs: editing tracks, adding layers of instrumentation and programming, recording additional vocals, and in the case of A.I, live strings on location.
The mixing process has been an absolute joy, to really hear these tracks come to life. The fourth single release is the best so fair in my view and due out in early 2026!
