Modern Evils / Ruled by Raptors

Brit hard-hitters MODERN EVILS are a colossal quintet serving up glorious earworms that aim to infiltrate your life force. The hotly-tipped upstarts have released their vivacious new single and lyric video, Big Decline, out now.

Formed in the dark depths of Swindon, England in April 2021, MODERN EVILS started life as a trio with Joe Palmer (guitar and vocals), Meg Truscott (drums) and Aaron Steel (vocals). The three-piece soon realised that adding an extra dimension would help elevate them to their true potential, so never resting on their laurels, the group drafted in Toby Pollitt (bass) and Sam Rose (guitar). The final result is a powerful concoction of edgy alt-rock and twisted post-hardcore that draws from Biffy Clyro and Idles through to System Of a Down and Title Fight.

With a full and solid line-up in place, MODERN EVILS have quickly acquired a strong following throughout the South West, with fans latching onto their dystopian themes and rebellious modern anthems. Possessing a growing legion of followers and a manifesto that is both deeply intriguing and utterly relevant to today's world, MODERN EVILS are the voice of the new generation.
