Blazing through the venues in the Columbus, Ohio live music scene, The Villaintinos have created a unique sonic punch, drawing inspiration from early rock legends like X, The Damned, Blondie, and The Cult. Their visceral live shows and tight, hook-driven songs grab hard while vocalist Leah Pugh simultaneously beguiles and bulldozes – luring the crowd in closer just before “showing ‘em a-little teeth.” The Villaintinos’ self-titled first album features eight original tracks, packing fifty pounds of rock into a ten-pound sack. Recorded at Relay Recording in Columbus, OH, Producer and Engineer Jon Fintel took great care to capture the band’s musical urgency and melodic tension.
