Billy Boy On Poison

“A creature who can only perform good or evil is a clockwork orange — meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice, but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil” – Anthony Burgess on A Clockwork Orange

Watch “Standing Still” video:

“Wound up by God or the Devil” now there’s a term that you could easily apply to Billy Boy on Poison’s frantic, teen, rock superstar in the making, young Davis Leduke.

Born and most definitely bred in LA, Davis and his fellow Droogs – Ryan, Greg and cousin Jessi make up the glitter-bombed, glam-soaked, Rockasaurus Rex that is Billy Boy on Poison.

At an average age of just 17 BBoP, who took their name from Burgess’ seminal novel ‘A Clockwork Orange’, have spent their formative years plying their trade up and down the Sunset Strip. While their classmates dodge groundings to come and check out the band, this LA four piece have made musicology their major.

The raw power of the rabble rousing ten tracks that appear on their forthcoming debut album ‘Drama Junkie Queen’ is their song sheet. The dedicated ground work mean the band are, despite their tender years, a potent live brew.

“Standing Still” is the debut single to be taken from the album and has to be the work of the devil. A whirling tornado of screeching vocals, guitar cyclones, thundering drums and an earthquake-off-the-richter-scale bass. A satanic verse with a chorus of fallen angels.
