ABOUT

Loaded Billy is a hard rock – stoner rock band from Adelaide Australia. The band’s current line up consists of Jimi ‘James’ Chamings (Lead vocals & acoustic guitars), Cindy Brown (Lead vocals), Ucan Ashtar (Guitars), Gary Standley (Bass & vocals), Willi Gutwein (Drums). Loaded Billy’s sound owes much to the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) movement and is reminiscent of classic "British Steel" era Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, early Def Leppard and bands like Budgie. Their music is an amalgam of great melodies, awesome vocals, riff driving guitars and a pounding kick-arse rhythm section with songs that explore a variety of topics about people and the world. Described by audiences and fellow musicians as ‘insanely talented’ – ‘stadium rock’ – ‘unique’ – ‘world class’ - ‘an emotional experience’, their stage presence imbues an energy that consumes the audience ... its toe tappin, head banging, riff driven pleasure.

“As a devout disciple of the metal gods, encountering Loaded Billy's ‘Legend’ was nothing short of a religious experience”

ViaNocturna2000YT Music Blogger Portugal www.vianocturna2000.blogspot.comy Mag.com 2023

“without a doubt, Legend is more evidence that the musical spirit of the 70’s is still on the loose. And, for example, inherent, a beautiful record of the Adelaide quintet {87%} Spectacular!

Powerplay Rock & Metal mag UK – issue 268

“Legend' is a solid and diverse metal album covering a lot of different styles. The band sound is tight and there is a confidence about this band that allows the songs to flow, the playing and the vocals all the way through are a joy to soak up”

Hysteria Mag.com – World premiere ‘Scarlet’ 2023 Tiana Speter

“Scarlet’ runs rampart with a rock n roll spine alongside a narrative fit for the silver screen. Loaded Billy once again prove they can dish up the riffs and a riotous good time like nobody’s business”

Heavy Mag.com 2023

“The record is a true album listening experience from start to finish, embodying the spirit of classic rock records from the 70’s and 80’s”

Spotify Curator: Andrii Miskov

“Hi, first of all I want to express my emotions about the sound of the solo guitar – it’s fantastic. Very nice solo, expressive and interesting. And in general, this song (Boys Run Wild) has a certain uniqueness and warmth to it. I really like it”

Curator: Europe Underground– Exotic

“We must say this is awesome piece of art. Vibe in general and sound design are very unique, which makes it interesting to listen to”

Curator: VinylHoops Rock Roadtrip

“Loving it - a spicy Rock track on a more Classic Rock sounding delivery. Exactly what I'm looking for in our playlist. A great addition - keep up the good work!”

Brenden Franz – Former weekly writer and reviewer “Rip It Up Magazine”

“Searing licks which complement the music perfectly. For the most part it’s one cool riff after another, however Loaded Billy also take time out for some haunting acoustic passages. The production is flawless as the performances themselves”

“With its pulsating rhythms, soaring melodies, and raw, unbridled energy, the single encapsulates the essence of rock ‘n’ roll at its finest”
