A true swamp, outlaw country style. Banjo, electric guitar, heavy drums and of course Billy’s great story telling all come together to form this great hit! The first music video for the Bandits, released in April of 2020. The song soon got traction and was featured at number six on the Amrap regional chart. https://billyandthebandits.com/love-of-a-country-town daily 0.75 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/37beab2c-9be3-49e4-9aa9-2a263094d6aa/Love+of+a+Country+Town.jpg Love of a Country Town The first ever release for the Bandits. Love of a Country Town was released in early 2019 along with What’s This Country Coming To and Raisin Hell. Featured on their debut EP Billy & The Bandits, the familiar Billy sound was formed. Banjo, acoustic guitar, ambient electric guitar with the chanting gang vocals. A bit rough around the edges is what they like. After all, it really adds to the grass roots story telling style they’ve come to be known for. https://billyandthebandits.com/two-six-guns-for-trouble daily 0.75 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/f325aab2-3e86-42cd-8784-7248d2b4e10e/Two+Six+Guns+For+Trouble+Album+Artwork.png Two Six Guns For Trouble “The Lords prayer for guidance and whiskey for the pain. And two six guns for trouble and my black hat for the rain”. You can’t get more outlaw country than that! Familiar sounds of banjo and acoustic guitar coupled with heavy electric guitar and drums makes for a raw yet powerful sound. Put together by Billy Hayze himself, the video compliments the story nicely. Scenes of old westerns, coal miners and of course the Bandits puting on a show! https://billyandthebandits.com/36-pennies daily 0.75 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/4a758adf-2ada-4f9c-bb71-0359ada599eb/Album+Artwork.png 36 Pennies Music video gone feature film! “You’ll need a gold one when the Devil Comes for you…”. Billy & The Bandits new single 36 Pennies follows the story of a cowboy who when confronted by the Devil is required to pay his dues. His past is catching up on him. And run as he might, there’s just no escaping it. Unless of course he has that gold one to the side. Originally written on banjo (mind you with a missing string) the song quickly developed to including pumping kick drum, heavy electric guitar, timpani and even a three-part string arrangement. Blending sounds of raw western county with an almost film or orchestral like flavour. It is certainly unique, but it all works together to tell the excellent story of 36 Pennies. https://billyandthebandits.com/the-bandits-rolled-into-town daily 0.75 2021-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/1cd4d9a0-cad9-449b-ac31-684b7ba28612/The+Bandits+Rolled+Into+Town.jpg The Bandits Rolled Into Town “Riffles up and pistols out!”. The Bandits Rolled Into Town is the second song off the Bandits self titled EP Billy & The Bandits. The track is inspired by country western movies with the song telling the story of a shootout between the bandits and a corrupt sheriff. And of course you know Billy is on his way to put an end to it! An old favourite for the Bandits, being one of the first recorded songs for the group back in 2019, along with Raisin’ Hell and What’s This Country Coming To. If you listen to one Bandits song, you can’t go wrong with The Bandits Rolled Into Town! https://billyandthebandits.com/billy-the-bandits-ep daily 0.75 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/1638614277544-22JK4E184OFD5RF0OPQM/Billy+and+The+Bandits+EP.png Billy & The Bandits EP Featuring all the classics, this five track EP is where it all started for the Bandits.

The pair write, record, and produce their own music which explores many styles of country. From ballads to swamp blues, western and of course country rock. The Bandits can do it all. If you like narrative driven song writing, they have a song (or two) for you! The group regularly perform around the Central Coast. Playing venues such as The Central Coast Leagues Club, The Coast Hotel and The Entrance Leagues Club to name a few. Not only does Billy love performing and writing, he also loves presenting on community radio. Helping local artists and local community members be heard is his passion. The Bandits aim to keep writing and producing music to help spread country music around Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/1638595242930-YBNHDWQ9S2BLKCJGWF2T/Billy_1.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/1638595300328-ZNXKZEPZVL09BUX29VTG/Chad_1.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/0578aed2-d228-4990-b230-88993757c56f/Promo+%287%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/bca67de9-a491-4457-b227-b31a71c722c8/Promo+%283%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/39d483a4-a1c2-489b-87b1-1e681fae4eed/Promo+%288%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/b801a9e0-6648-4863-9ff1-a36f061902cb/Promo+%281%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/e870564b-0d9b-4aca-9f52-53c6375a0867/Promo+%2811%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/a28bf6bb-6b37-41d7-a7d8-9c4dc98a9005/Promo+%282%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/11efd7b1-da3d-4626-8982-e734c3520b98/Promo+%2810%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/8e17d545-ce31-4dba-9104-e58944a93a87/Promo+%284%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/29a0be63-7d8b-4f5b-9fbc-a53ada7ced67/Promo+%289%29.png About https://billyandthebandits.com/desert-road daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aabdd4a1745f27303e0c5e/3c7033dc-1fa5-4f93-9de2-a0586b66f526/Desert+Road+Artwork+%28Spotify%29.png Desert Road Desert Road tells the story of road tripping through outback Australia and all the sights you might see along the way.
