Polly And The Billets Doux have already caused quite a stir in musical circles, Uncut Magazine gave a shining review; “The new Duffy? No! Polly Perry’s way better!”
That’s a pretty big build-up.
Comprised of Polly Perry on lead vocals and double bass, Dan Everett on double & electric bass, acoustic guitar, organ, and vocals, Ben Perry on drums and percussion, and Steeny on electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, organ and piano, it’s a pretty multi-talented, multi-instrument outfit. By expanding on the standard guitar, bass and drums combination, Polly and co. have the ability to create an original, rich sound.
The end result is fun, upbeat and folksy, with a smooth soul element that mainly has to be attributed to Polly’s sexy, raspy vocals.
Polly And The Billets Doux are currently in the midst of a nationwide tour, and as a very kind gesture, dear readers, here is a link where you can get your mits on a free download of MP3 single ‘To Be A Fighter’. This is taken from the current album ‘Fiction, Half-Truth & Downright Lies’ released through Bleak Mouse Records. Have a listen!
