New striking strokes
18 November 2025
Credit: Seb Barros
Band: VILLANELLE
Who: Fresh Brit-rock trio led
by Liam Gallagher‘s son Gene.
New single: MEASLY MEANS
Their 2nd score from their
upcoming EP. Details TBA.
Gallagher: “Measly Means’ we laboured over for ages. At first it sounded
too light and lovey, but when Ben added the bends and sustains that made
it feel like Smashing Pumpkins I was like, that’s it. Like ‘Hinge’ I wrote the lyrics
when I was about fourteen. It’s about being hungover. It’s a bit of a theme.”
It’s an okay rocker. Nothing more, nothing less.
Lots of work to do to be a rock ‘n roll star tonight.
