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’.
Taking a break from touring, writing and recording with InMe, front man and song writer DAVE MCPHERSON has, after a collection of single and EP releases, finally pieced together a heartfelt and heartbreaking collection of solo, acoustic songs for his debut album release, ‘The Hardship Diaries’, which is set for release on April 10th. The album will also be made available digitally instantly to anyone who purchases through Pledge Music.

Danny Fury (guitar), Damo Ezekiel Holmes (vocals), Sam Ray (Bass) and Oliver Parker (Drums) are the core members that started the group in early 2009. The quartet cut their teeth playing in various rock/punk bands before coming together to create what can only be described as something oddly complete. Also in the ranks is Sarah Townsend (flute).
