Forged in the raw energy of Virginia Beach’s underground music scene in the 1990s, Early Street Villains emerged from the ashes of the local favorite Lost Cause. Drawing influence from the rebellious spirit of punk, the grit of classic rock, and the soul of true rock and roll, the Villains are at home in East Coast dive bars, garages, and anywhere the amps could be cranked loud enough to shake the walls.

Together, their sound is a blend of sharp-edged punk attitude and rock and roll storytelling—equal parts reckless and refined.
Still standing, and still plugged into the same amps they started with, Early Street Villains are a living reminder that rock and roll ain't dead.
