Winner of 'Best Punk Band' at this year's Austin Music Awards and 'Artist of the month' on KUTX in July 2024, Big Bill are fast expanding their following for their raucous live shows and endlessly catchy punk songs. Big Bill's distinctive sound draws from early punk bands like Big Boys and Dead Milkmen to New Wave stalwarts Talking Heads and The B-52's, yet remains truly singular. Eric Braden, the band's primary songwriter, contributes vocals once described as sped-up Buddy Holly, coupled with a singularly weird point of view. His lyrics toe the line between smart and dumb, sprayed over manic, fun-house riffs and intricately relentless drums. Their compelling live show has led them to tour all over the United States and Canada multiple times, including as direct support for Norwegian art-rockers Pom Poko in January 2025 and opening for the acclaimed Japanese punk rock band Tsushimamire in August 2024. They have also shared the stage with an impressive list of acts such as Gustaf, Bodega, Harlem, Being Dead, The Chats, TV Girl, Surfbort, Snooper, Shannon and the Clams, Omni, and Peaches.
