Billy Vincent set to release ‘King Island Coyote’ EP on April 11th

Kev — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:00:32 +0000

Passion for their craft is a trait that many artists claim, but with new EP, ‘King Island Coyote’, released on April 11th Billy Vincent prove that for them it is at the core of the music. “For us it’s all about passion. If you don’t put your heart and soul into it, it’s pointless. And we give it everything we’ve got,” affirms co-singer and songwriter David Vincent. Together with long-time cohort and best mate Bill Barratt, with whom he began playing music from their time at infant’s school, Billy Vincent create visceral melodies that veer from the heart wrenching to the raucous. ‘King Island Coyote’ perfectly showcases Billy Vincent’s musicianship and lyricism in its four captivating tracks. From the poignant ‘Prairie Wolves’ to the tenacious ‘They Break Bones’ contrasting with the mournful ‘Trouble Never Comes Alone’ and the deceptively sprightly ‘Tubes/Wires’, their latest EP is the ideal introduction to the band’s distinctive sound, dubbed by the band themselves as ‘dirty folk’.
