The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.

It all began in 2003. 2007 turned out to be especially successful - that's when Enei released his first record on the Dutch label Fokuz. That's when he also strated producing dubstep, which resulted in the second dubstep vinyl release in Russia, including one solo track and two co-produced tracks with Ka (aka Implex). More releases are coming on the biggest European labels, and more collaborations with producers from all over the world are taking place. In his sets Enei mixes old-school neuro funk and tech step with fresh and trendy futuristic minimal dnb from Metalheadz, Critical and other labels. His tracks are played by Nu Tone, Goldie, Andy C, Ed Rush, Sabre, DJ Hype, London Elektricity, Friction, Netsky, Kasra, Bailey and many others.

This is not another story of a band starting out on the road for glory, but one of a band already on the road doing what bands should do… And their story has already begun.

With tales of impending success including touring with the likes of the Pigeon Detectives, receiving national airtime across Radio 2, recording with Grammy Award winning Bob Clearmountain and signing their first record deal it seemed as if everything was about to happen… Yet with a turn of bad luck, what happened was they found themselves stranded at Heathrow airport, without money or jobs to return to and with a manager who had deserted them. Kindly before leaving though, he had amassed a trail of debt in their name. With a tarnished reputation, it seems Famous Villains was an obvious choice of name.

In spite of the financial and emotional fallout from their former band, “The Wallbirds,” Anthony Lindley (lead vocal/ rhythm guitar) and Chris Autey (drums) had no regrets and were not about to give up. In 2012, they got together with old school friend Neil Smith (lead guitar) and classically trained Tobin James (piano). Famous Villains were born and have been playing throughout their native Doncaster and South Yorkshire ever since.

Melding the raw and soulful melodies of Wilson Pickett with the edgier guitar driven music of bands like Jawbreaker, Famous Villains play energetic and harmony-laden rock. Remarkably they show no sign of past disappointment, instead just an up-beat infectious attitude evocative of The Beatles… Serious about music but unaffected by everything else.

2013 started off the way they intend it to end… On the road! Having just completed a tour of the north, they are happy to announce they will be appearing at Wilderness Festival this summer. In the meantime listen out for Spies on BBC Introducing Sheffield, Sine FM and keep an eye out for further shows on their facebook…
