Victory Pill is the brain child of former Pitchshifter and Prodigy guitarist Jim Davies. Formed in 2004 the bands line-up features Davies on guitar and vocals with former Prodigy drummer Kieron Pepper providing Bass and vocals, Pete Crossman on live synths and beats and Alex Baker handling the live drum duties. Jim Davies guitars shaped The Prodigy's breakthrough album Fat Of The Land. Jim toured worldwide with The Prodigy including a headline slot at Reading 2001. Davies was also a contributing member of electro-metal outfit Pitchshifter, whose last gig for Pitchshifter was immortalized in the Bootlegged, Distorted live album. In conversation with Blabbermouth.net Davis says,
"'Worst Case Scenario' was one of the first tunes I wrote for this band, it's the most live sounding too," Davies continues, "We used almost all live drums for this and it's very bass-heavy, not an amazing amount of guitar; in fact it's quite sparse. Lyrically its very tongue in cheek; it's about going through life and becoming very cynical about everything where you used to always expect the best outcome. This song is about always expecting the worst, which is almost a way of protecting ourselves from being constantly let down. I think anyone in a band knows what I mean. You have to put your faith in people that very often let you down completely and the music business is a very unfair place. I had quite a dark period musically several years ago when all I did was plan for the worst outcome so I wasn't surprised when it came. But, I have to say the song isn't meant to be all doom and gloom; the third verse is meant to be uplifting and to have you stop dwelling on the past and get on with it, it's all good from now on. I'm not a miserable git, I promise!"
"The video was shot by Dose Productions, who did a few Pitchshifter videos. Having worked with them before they were our first choice," says Davies. "The video was shot in France in a bunker complex. The concept was just meant to be quite dark and grainy like the song and the guy in the video is basically slowly flipping out after taking a pill of some kind, it's very claustrophobic. I wanted something quite moody to suit the song, although the end isn't as uplifting as the end of the song as he blows his head off. Oops!"
