Born in a garage in Riverside, California, A Proper Villain began as casual jam sessions between guitarist Derek Robbins and drummer Chris Yeates. The band quickly began to take shape with the addition of vocalist Chris Beets in 2010. Finally, after months of searching, the band recruited longtime friend and bassist Jon Sparks to complete the line-up.

A shared musicality has seen the band draw inspiration from a wide range of artists, including Tool, Alice In Chains, Muse, Radiohead and The Mars Volta. Now, after over a decade, 2020 brings the band’s first full length, self-titled album. Each member’s parts were recorded in isolation during the Coronavirus pandemic.
