Billy Liar's "Pills" comes from his debut album, "Some Legacy", on Red Scare. This lyric video was crafted by Doktor Diesel and was premiered by the generous kids at BrooklynVegan. Makes sense, as our Billy IS an actual vegan, yo.
Scottish punk band of one. New album 'Some Legacy' drops June 21st via Red Scare Industries.
Billy Liar grew up in the underground punk rock scene, finding his feet and forging his sound through a self-imposed relentless touring schedule, a love of playing live and an understanding that good things do not come to those who wait. Great things come to those who get out on the road and make a hell of a lot of their own mistakes. Billy has been touring the UK, mainland Europe and America extensively for over ten years, released 7 EPs on independent record labels, had songs played on BBC Radio 1 and XFM and toured Australia and New Zealand. He has played the Fest in Gainesville, Florida three times, solo and with a band, visited Woodford Folk Festival in Australia for a week of performances, played Rebellion Punk Festival in England eight years in a row and even co-wrote, co-directed and starred in a play at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland for a month of shows. On June 21st 2019, Billy will release his long-awaited full-band, full-length record, produced by Joe McMahon (Smoke Or Fire) on Red Scare Industries.
‘Scotland’s angriest young man. Watching Billy attack his guitar and spit into his mic on a live setting, you’re almost waiting for his head to pop off his shoulders with the ferocity of his delivery. A constant touring animal… you are left wanting more. Great shit! More please!’ PUNKNEWS (****)
‘Acutely sharp and self aware - uncluttered realism and a hand on heart narrative’ SUBBA-CULTCHA
‘A rousing attack….. a relentless work ethic……. Billy certainly comes across as an intense character, but you don’t produce this kind of passionate music without intensity. When Bill Hicks said that he wants musicians to “play from your fucking heart”, Billy Liar was most definitely listening.’ LOUDER THAN WAR (‘Artist Of The Week’)
‘A controlled nervous breakdown in the name of art. Intense, powerful stuff - really liked him. He seems to be just as intense offstage too… more people like him please.’ BERNARD O'LEARY (The Skinny)
