Billy Liar is an acoustic punk/folk band from Edinburgh, fronted by the solo singer of the same name. Most often, Billy tours as a solo artist, throughout the UK, Europe and the U.S. and is signed to the independent Scottish record label; Make That A Take Records.
Liar released his debut EP in 2006. After releasing a string of EPs and split singles, his debut album, Lies Lied Live, was released in 2015.
Blending folk and punk, Liar explained the roots of his musical style: "I played the viola before I played guitar, so I was learning folk music before I properly learned about punk."
Billy Liar has toured internationally around Europe, Australia, and the US, and played at festivals such as Crackfest and Fest in the US, and has performed many times at the Rebellion Festival.
