Billy Vincent – And It Fights

• 24th Apr 2013

One part Bill, one part Vincent, three parts raggle taggle maverick vagabond troubadour – a cocktail to grace any happy hour inspired adventure.

Billy Barratt and David Vincent’s inspired tales from the front line of life delve deep into a narrative so resonant it beggars belief that two south Londoners, so young, can draw on such a deep seam of emotion with such engaging empathy. They deliver evocative stories – if indeed that is what they are (I hope these guys haven’t lived all this!) – of life’s bittersweet chapters that past masters of the art, Cave, Davies, Morrisey & Stipe have taken years to hone.

For every Americana or folk inflection there, is an edge to Billy Vincent that suggests they share a kinship with The Faces or The Libertines as much as anybody else: this is a gang you’d like to hang with as much as eulogise.

The band are currently out on a UK tour in April and you can see them live on the following dates:

24/4 – The Central, Gateshead
25/4 – Communion @ Nice and Sleazy, Glasgow
26/4 – The Green Room, Stockton on tees
