\u201cBilly Liar is one of my favorite songwriters. Powerful and honest.\u201d – Tim Armstrong (Rancid)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s one hell of a statement coming from Armstrong, a guy who knows his way around a tune as one of the most beloved songwriters in punk rock history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A single listen to Billy Liar\u2019s new album \u201cCrisis Actor\u201d will have any listener agree with Armstrong. With this album, Billy Liar showcases his outstanding talent for storytelling and his ability to capture raw, unfiltered emotions that resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level. These songs are bold, brash, and destined to be played loud in any size venue Billy steps into, from a solo show at a DIY space to a full-band set on a giant festival stage and everywhere in between\u2026all with fans screaming back every word!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the outset of \u201cCrisis Actor,\u201d Billy Liar commands the listener\u2019s attention. From the opening track \u201cOblivion,\u201d he pulls no punches when he sings \u201cThe only way I win is by not giving in to oblivion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the album, Billy intricately weaves anecdotes, scathing social commentary, and self-realization to craft a record that will please old and new punks alike. Drawing the inevitable comparison to the legendary punk troubadour Billy, Mr. Liar shares Mr. Bragg\u2019s ability to address society, politics, and the world at large through the lens of lived experience and deeply personal, confessional emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just to put \u201cCrisis Actor\u201d over the top, a friend turns up to lend his familiar voice to one of the record\u2019s highlights: the one and only Frank Turner joins Billy on \u201cNegroni,\u201d adding his trademark powerhouse grit to Liar\u2019s boundless, exuberant energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With \u201cCrisis Actor,\u201d Billy Liar is poised to step up as a central voice in a new wave of singer-songwriters ready to tell their tales to listeners across the world. Clocking in at just 28 minutes, this album is a proverbial uppercut to the jaw. It hits you hard and fast, but it is intricate enough to reward close repeat listens. This is fortunate, because you\u2019ll find yourself dropping the needle on this one again and again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether armed only with his guitar or backed by a full band, Billy Liar will be traveling the globe, commanding stages of pubs, clubs, and arenas alike with this new set of tunes ready to catapult him into the hearts – and record collections – of punks worldwide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
