May 29th, 2017 – Singapore – Singapore post-hardcore band Villes have officially released their debut album ‘The Cure’, today via Shibui Records and is available on Apple Music, iTunes and Spotify.

“The Cure, which symbolises a breakaway from society’s standards. People’s beliefs are held captive to rules set by others. The Cure hopes to inculcate courage, by letting people know that they can do what they want in their lives without the fear of losing out.” states Bryan Sta Maria, guitarist/vocalist of Villes.
Described by Sound Fiction as “one of the strongest post hardcore releases in years”, ‘The Cure’ centers on Villes’ personalized brand of post-hardcore music infused with pop sensibilities, evident in their signature blend of screams and clean catchy choruses that are supported by a commanding structure of complex guitar riffs forming groove linearity with the drums.
