The album has already received over 100K streams on Spotify.
Their sound owes much to the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) movement: think early Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and bands like Budgie. Loaded Billy delivers a thriving and righteous arena soundscape complete with big riff driving guitars, and choruses that come through anthemic and powerful all while telling a story through a variety of topics about people and the world.
Equally showcasing their infectious live energy audiences know it’s Loaded Billy as soon as they hear that first riff. It’s high-powered rock that’s alive and well in the 21st century. Whether tackling thematics surrounding the marginalisation of young men in a modern world or tearing the roof off in a live setting, their stage presence exudes an energy and charisma that’s guaranteed to leave you begging for more.
Described by audiences, critics and fellow musicians as ‘insanely talented’ – ‘stadium rock’ – ‘unique’ – ‘an emotional experience’ – ‘awesome’ – ‘anthemic hooks’ – ‘a world class band’ their songs are entrenched in a rich musical background, evidence that the musical spirit of the 70’s is still on the loose.
