Austin's Big Bill forges their own darkly comedic brand of philosophical art-rock. As Kevin Curtin of The Austin Chronicle notes, "If Big Bill were from Bristol, Brighton, or London, NME would've long ago run articles effusively praising their peculiar strain of punk and proclaiming them the next-big-thing." Eric Braden, the band's primary songwriter, contributes vocals once described as sped-up Buddy Holly, coupled with a singularly weird point of view. The current lineup features Braden on vocals, Alan Lauer on bass, Alex Riegelman on guitar, and former White Denim drummer Jeff Olson on drums. The result of this combination is a legendary live show, fueled by what has been described as “climbing-up-the-rafters energy.”
Big Bill’s 2024 album Strawberry Seed (their first without co-founder Cody Braden) earned accolades for its broadened sonic landscape. Carys Anderson called it "an ornate, textured project complete with acoustic guitar, glimmering synths, and classical piano.” They were named KUTX Artist of the Month in July 2024, and awarded Best Punk Band at the 2025 Austin Music Awards. Their fourth full-length album, Sick Myth, due out November 2025 on Todo Records, promises to represent Big Bill distilled to its very essence.
