Brighton’s self-defined ‘Brat Metal’ trio Eville, made up of singer/guitarist Eva Sheldrake, bassist/singer/producer Jude Richards, and drummer Milo Hemsley, have today announced their debut EP BRAT METAL, set for release on October 17th. The announcement is made ahead of the band’s hotly-anticipated appearance at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival.

Leading the charge is new single ‘BR4T MBL’ (pronounced brat mobile), a high-octane anthem inspired by Fast & Furious, Need for Speed, and the hyper-feminine aesthetics of Y2K icons like Paris Hilton. The track is packed with car-themed wordplay – with each line in the first verse shifting gears, from “FIRST off the line, you’re a SECOND too late” and beyond – delivering an empowering message that firmly puts women in the driver’s seat. The bold, glossy video brings the concept to life in full throttle.

Speaking of the track, vocalist Eva Sheldrake shares, “We wanted to write an empowering song that puts women in the driver’s seat for a change.”

Coining their own genre, brat metal, the trio fuse bratty, hyper-feminine lyricism with ferocious metal instrumentals – a clash of chaos, confidence, and catharsis.

Their unique sound has earned early acclaim from BBC Radio 1’s Alyx Holcombe, who named them Track of the Week twice and included them in her Ones To Watch for 2025. They’ve also received ongoing support from Radio X.

Known for their explosive live shows, EVILLE have sold out headline gigs and toured with scene-defining names including WARGASM (UK), Delilah Bon, Cody Frost, THE HARA, and most recently RedHook on their sold-out UK run. Summer 2025 sees the band hit the festival circuit for the first time, with slots at Reading & Leeds, 2000trees, Burn It Down, and more.

EVILLE are leading a brat metal revolution and they’re dragging the new generation of heavy music fans with them, one bratty breakdown at a time.
