Vileevils are an electronic dance duo, formed when the 2005 reunion of Pop Will Eat Itself (PWEI) failed to become a full-time project. Singer Clint Mansell and guitarist Richard March were too busy with side projects to dedicate themselves to writing and performing new material, and so the remaining three members of the band decided to form the spin-off band Vileevils, utilising the "Sonic Noise Byte" material that PWEI had written following the reunion.

Discography

The bands first output was a collaboration with U.S. electronic act 3kStatic entitled 'Council Housed And Violent' in February 2008. The track used components from PWEI's 'Let It Flow' & Vile Evils yet to be released 'Fucking & Fighting'. The latter was released in its own right a month later. Second single 'The Way I Feel Inside' featuring the voice of Colin Blunstone of The Zombies came out in June 2008. The release was under the moniker Vile Evils Vs. Zombies. All releases were on U.S. electronic label dPulse.

Other activity

Vile Evils were the subject of a Sony Acidplanet Remix competition in May 2008 where contestants were invited to remix Vile Evils track 'No Fear'.
