From http://www.killfromtheheart.com/bands...
"Massachusetts' appropriately-titled Vile is probably known only to the most diehard record collectors and other degenerate scumbags. A mysterious and controversial band, they befouled the punk scene with their 1982 Solution LP, then disappeared off the face of the earth.

Vile started in Mansfield, a town near the Massachusetts/Rhode Island border. The aim of the band was presumably to piss off as many people as possible, and their dubious tactic was bigotry. In possibly their only Boston appearance, opening up for the Angelic Upstarts in 1982, the singer told racist jokes from the stage and threw the mike stand at a member of the audience. Shortly after, there was an exchange of letters in the local magazine Boston Rock, where Vile defended their right to "free speech" and took out ads proclaiming "Vile says Fuck Off." Their infamous LP was recorded in the legendary Radiobeat Studio, and featured lyrics attacking women, minorities, gays, and pretty much everybody in general. The band distributed some copies of the record by leaving them on the windshields of cars parked at the Boston club the Channel. It has since become a coveted collector's item."

Another track called 'Overload' was also recorded in the album session but for unknown reasons was not included. See seperate video for an audio clip and additional information.

In 1983, VILE recorded a video session at Gallery East in Boston for the tracks '5 To 10' and 'Blasphemy'. The whereabouts of the footage, if it still exists, is currently unknown. Any information you could share to assist the band in locating the footage would be greatly appreciated.

Prior to VILE, all of the members plus a 2nd guitarist briefly played in a Punk band called THE SHUT-INS. At least one recording exists but nothing has ever been released and it seems unlikely to be..

More info to be added in time ...
