Villanelle is a new post hardcore band based mostly in NJ. I say mostly because I think one member is in CA’s Trip Kissing and this is another band they have started while in school in NJ. Incorporating but moving beyond Trip Kissing’s Riot Grrrl roots, Villanelle leans heavily into big chorus and powerful hooks of the posthardcore and emopunk world. It leans a little more toward the Evanescence side of things that I don’t always gravitate to, but this is just some dope ass shit.
