“The band’s sound is richly updated glam rock with post-punk, hook-filled musicality…The kids are better than all right. They’ve got chops, talent and legit promise.”

Live Show Reviews:

• Live in los angeles: Billy Boy On Poison, from The Red Alert:

“Just as one starts to think that the scene is dying out and is riddled with pathetic ticket holders, one is shown a band that provides some hope.  There has to be one band that gets the kids to move in droves towards the latest indie venue. There has to be one band that causes such a commotion that shows reach capacity within minutes. There has to be one band that embodies the spirit of the scene. At the moment that band is Billy Boy On Poison.”

• Billy Boy on Poison - The Whiskey a Go-Go, from SugarBuzz Magazine:

“Billy Boy on Poison produces some edgy pop nuggets dripping with British sounding hooks and delivers each one with the same jubilant New York Dolls attitude that has eluded too many bands until recently.”

CRUNK!!! Energy Drink, the best energy drink, is proud to introduce you to a member of the CRUNK!!! family of artists – Billy Boy on Poison.

Who is Billy Boy on Poison?

Billy Boy on Poison is an LA-based rock and roll quintet that is blowing audiences away with its infectious energy and eclectic style - a mash-up of classic, alternative, punk, and prog.

• The band is lead by one-named, teenage phenom Davis, who has the charisma of a youthful David Bowie or Mick Jagger.
• Billy Boy on Poison landed their first recording contract with Ironworks Music, the label founded by Emmy-award winning actor Kiefer Sutherland and singer/songwriter/producer Jude Cole.
• The band’s lineup also includes guitarists Ryan Wallengren and Greg West, Julian Borrego on bass and keyboards, and drummer Jessi Calcaterra.

Billy Boy on Poison’s debut “Sweet Mess” delivers an eclectic, hard-hitting array of tracks, including Sweet and Dirty Bomb that pay homage to rock and roll legends such as the New York Dolls and the Yardbirds. You can even detect the influence of Alice Cooper in their contagious anthem, “Falling in Love with a Higher Power.”

Says lead singer Davis about their music:

“It’s teenage rebellion, trying-to-be-heard stuff. Nobody listens to teenagers or gives a shit about what’s on our minds. People say we’re the future. We have to save the planet. If that’s true, doesn’t it make sense to listen to us while we’re young, while we’re learning, instead of when its too late and we’ve gotten all cynical and lost our youthful perspective, not to mention our faith?”
