BILLY VINCENT
Outlaw folk rock quintet with a cinematic quality set midway between old school spaghetti and Cormac McCarthyesque gore. Chanelling the spirit of Strummer through the likes of Cohen & Cave, and taking influence from the very streets they inhabit to dreams of far off lands, Billy Vincent bring tales of love, lust, ambition & murder. Dark as they are bright, grand & restrained in equal measure, it's a heady & gripping cocktail they christen 'Dirty Folk'.
Billy Vincent's current release the "King Island Coyote" EP will be followed in summer with another sparkling release on Something Nothing Records.
"An extremely impressive debut single…a brilliantly unique piece of folky pop…. pure indie pop joy…" - Altsounds
