This guy is an independent singer/songwriter. A buddy of mine sent me the link because the website was designed and built by one of the best Flash teams around, SOFAKE. So I'm checking out the site (it's been four or five months ago now) and love the uniqueness. Then Billy grabs my interest. He's a bit of a, well, let's just say I bet Billy has a flowerless vase behind the couch.
It's a funny site without being over the top. Then I listened to the four or five songs he streams. At first I notice the low production quality and the 'looseness' of the band. But it works brilliantly for the songs. The first song, Frozen Through is a pop didy with a hook that has stuck in my head since I first heard it. The other songs are solid alternative entries in which I hear strong influences of Beck and Elliot Smith (the song Belly Up sounds like an Elliot cover song.)
Great site design, loads of chuckles and the tunes are, well cool. Definitely worth checking out if you have some time (you'll want to spend some time there. It's not really a two minute kinda of site.) I find myself going back every few weeks.
