The Villa is a four-piece disruptive rock band consisting of former artists from several of our favorite rock bands: vocalist Michael Bohn (Issues, Woe Is Me), guitarist Kevin Hanson (Woe Is Me), guitarist Turner Wood (Nightmares), and bassist Michael Owens (Secrets). Their first single “Turning Point” premiered on Alternative Press. You can check out the track right here on All Punked Up!
The band shares:
“We want everyone to be able to relate to this. Even if we aren’t on the same topic, we want to explore and disrupt everything we find morally compromised, the deceit, the betrayals, the hatred, the corruptions. We explore my place with religion because to me that was my ultimate betrayal. I spent the first half of my life being lied to and in the dark, and to just open your eyes and witness how gross and corrupt the religion business is and to even see it as a business; I have never felt more betrayed by anything. But that feeling translates to anyone who has ever been manipulated or misguided. The Villa is a new place for all of us to call home.”
After listening to “Turning Point”, it is clear that these talented musicians have indeed found their new home. It feels as if The Villa has been around for years. The track highlights the band’s diversity from the pop-punk chorus to the heavier verses and the gritty riffs. The breakdown hits pretty hard as well. The whole time I was headbanging and grooving. I cannot wait to hear what is next for this band!
