This Vancouver trio definitely lives up to its hype, much of which revolves around Billy, an excellent guitarist and super rocker.” - Shawn Conner of the Georgia Straight “Billy is a DIY poster girl.” - Chad Hucalak of Vue Weekly "Takes female-fronted punk back to somewhere it hasn't been in awhile." Bill Adams of Eye Weekly Most Bootylicious Local Musician: “Billy the Kid from Billy and the Lost Boys. On the outside she seems like this cute little punk rock girl but when she gets onstage, her confidence really comes through. She rocks out with the best of them.” - The Georgia Straight’s “Best Of Vancouver" “Billy the Kid plays like a woman possessed. The term woman should be used sparingly; she actually looks like the kind of girl that you’d politely ask to borrow a pen from in your English 110 class. The only difference is that once she has a guitar in her hand, Kid makes Joan Jett look like a pussycat.” - Trevor Hargreaves of Chartattack “Billy the Kid looks like a librarian, but backed by her band, the Lost Boys, she really rocks.” - Exclaim! Magazine "(Billy)'s the kind of thorough, do-it-yourself poster girl that will go to hell and back in order to put out a good record." - Lisa Schindel of Beatroute Magazine "Drawing on tough times led to some of the group's strongest material, and the new album shows the band's songwriting reaching a new creative peak. The disc's Jawbreaker-meets-Team Dresch sound is in top-notch shape throughout the disc." Rob Nay of Uptown Magazine "The cutest face in punk music." Vue Weekly "Billy and the Lost Boys have always stood apart from the pack with true street-level integrity, an almost Mennonitish indie-rock work ethic and outstanding musicianship." - Ferdy Belland of the Nerve Magazine "It's rare that a young band makes such a big leap between their first and second album, but Billy and the Lost Boys are like that kid in elementary school who had a growth spurt over the summer - they're bigger, more confident and you would think twice before messing with them." Jason Lewis of FFWD Magazine “Billy’s the type of front person punk needs.” - Chartattack "With their popularity spreading and in no sign of waning, (Billy)'s many musical endeavors are starting to pay off and no one deserves it more. After a chat with this winsome pixie, it would be difficult to dislike her." Chris Courtie of the Gauntlet Magazine "Prolific and incredibly talented." - Gerry Krochak of the Leader-Post “While they obviously love touring, they also get a lot of love from their hometown crowd. They just won the Georgia Straight’s Readers Poll for Best Band, while their sophomore release “Breaking Down the Barriers that Break Down Your Music” won Best Album.” - Phil Dupont of Vue Weekly Magazine "If passion, determination and desire are any indication of what the future holds for this intrepid band, these Lost Boys are about to find their way." - Tanya Zelinsky of FFWD Magazine “If you need any inspiration to keep your New Year’s Resolution “I shall cast off the shackles of procrastination and actually do something with myself...” look no further than a young lady who goes by the name of Billy the Kid.” – Chartattack Signup for our Mailing List *: required First name: Last name: Email * : Country: Mailing Address: Mailing Address 2: City: Myspace Url: http://www.myspace.com/ Birth Year: Gender: Male Female Groups: - please select the group(s) you would like to subscribe to: Fans Street Team Record Label: Lost Records Type of Label: Indie |
