New Album Release
Bilk has announced the release of their updated second album, Essex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, featuring a new single, ‘Tommy’, ahead of the album’s debut on January 24th.
About the Single
This track blends hip-hop-inspired verses with punk-infused hooks, following previously released singles “Summer Days”, “F Up”, and “On It” from the forthcoming album.
“Tommy tells the story of an aspiring actress who becomes involved with a dubious character, leading her down the wrong path,” shares vocalist and guitarist Saul Abrahams. “I wrote it quickly, and the solo is sure to leave an impression.”
The song was produced at Edge Studios and Silkmill Studios by Andy Gannon, featuring contributions from Saul, as well as band members Luke Hare on bass and Harry Gray on drums.
