I caught Wonder Villains far away from our respective hometowns in Austin at SXSW this year. I was impressed by the Derry band’s exuberance, energy and their tunes. They kinda remind me of another band and that’s no bad thing. ‘TV’ is released on October 29th through No Dancing Records.

I’m surprised it’s taken The Wonder Villains this long to make a music video, their songs so far seem to be well suited for video purposes.
