After meeting in a goods return line at Fry’s Electronics in LA in 2005, Philthy Animal Taylorand James Alexander Childs formed Little Villains. Owen Street completed the line-up,
playing bass at early recording sessions.
The group worked on many recordings at Phil’s place, James’s studio and Unit A studio in
Palm Springs. James and Phil worked on and off on their recordings up until 2010. They’d
discussed recording more, but Phil became ill and returned to England where he had more
of a personal support system. Sadly, Phil died in 2015.
Little Villains’ first album, “Philthy Lies”, was released on Heavy Psyche Sounds Records in
2019 with the blessing of Phil’s family. Chris Fielden joined the band, playing drums on tour.
Owen Childs, James’s nephew, also joined, playing guitar.
“The band features a heavy and hard rock ‘n’ roll sound, with fast-paced beats and riffs with
a Motörhead feel. This album has a classic sound to it, with an old-school, raw production. If
you were or are a fan of Motörhead, I’d totally check Little Villains out.” Metal Temple
review by Jared Lacks
“The music is heavy, raw, and showcases the sheer genius playing style that Taylor was
known for. There are plenty of catchy rocking tunes. It has an unpolished sound that has not
been overproduced. The spirit and legend of Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor lives on in Little
Villains. This is surely one that any Motörhead fan will want to have. Honest to goodness
rock ‘n roll.” Metal Rules review by John Haseltine
