Industrial Brat Metal sound intersects with Grime Punk in the Brighton powerhouse’s attack on the patriarchy!
Brighton quartet Eville’s signature Industrial Brat Metal sound meets the grit of grime punk in their latest colossal impact of a hit, ‘Ballistic‘, proving Eva Sheldrake has an equal amount of mettle in the sphere as Bob Vylan and Wage War.
Still on a high after their previous single, ‘Blood‘, was crowned ‘track of the week’ by BBC Radio 1’s Alyx Holcombe and their breakout track, ‘Leech‘, was remixed by the renowned DJ, Toronto is Broken. Storming the industry with no mercy, Eville deliver their brattiest banger to date.
The unhinged, off-the-rails anthem captures the band’s feral energy within a gritty two-minute juggernaut, which sees Sheldrake’s vox chameleonically shift from Kae Tempest-esque spoken word verses into full-blown screamo assaults on the pervasive rot of the patriarchy.

Ballistic may be a departure from their earlier sound, but make no mistake, Eville are still out for ‘Blood’…
Eva says: “’Ballistic‘ is an unfiltered, raw and authentic display of female rage, unapologetically calling out the misogyny women face on a daily basis. It’s time to smash the glass ceiling and stamp on the pieces. The song is one big heavy riff that won’t stop for anything, with Eville’s signature hard hitting drum n bass inspired beats, huge bass tones and gritty guitars, this song is guaranteed to open up mosh pits everywhere.”
We think that Eville have produced their best release yet with ‘Ballistic’ – accelerating musically and spot on target lyrically, it’s punching well above its weight and deserves a vast amount of air play!
Amelia Vandergast, the Executive Editor at A&R Factory said: “Eville is quickly becoming the final boss for sexism; there’s no way chauvinists are getting out of this battle-ready banger alive.”

The juxtaposition of Eva Sheldrake’s crushing riffs and candied vocals have become the cornerstone of the Brighton-born Brat-Metal band Eville, which debuted in 2022 with their first single, ‘Nightmare‘.
Joined by Milo Hemsley (drums), Riley Sweeney (guitar/backing vocals) and Jude Richards (bass/backing vocals) the four-piece have been burning up the UK with their signature bratty vocals and hypersonic industrial pop spins on nu-metal.
With 35k+ followers on TikTok and Instagram, Eville are turning the new generation of fans onto the 90s nu-metal scene and standing at the vanguard of the revival. The band have been lavished with critical acclaim for their tracks which have been heard during sold-out headline shows and supporting WARGASM (UK), Delilah Bon, Kid Bookie and BEX.

Usually found jumping around down the front at gigs, I also relish taking photos and videos, singing, speaking with fellow music fans, and asking musicians the questions nobody else does. Writing about my favourite bands and connecting with people who love music too keeps me more-or-less sane! I’ve worked for over 25 years at a video production company, mainly filming live music events, therefore I have an additional backstage perspective on the scene.
