Billy Bunks - Spit & Gristle

 

Billy Bunks was raised on lager and that good nineties rap. A grimy creep from the briney deep, he's a foul rap drunk, and in his own words "superhumanly talented". Lithe and rank, the known Booze Bastard and notorious Hired Goon wields old fashioned proper microphone styles with a practiced absence of sobriety. Often seen on street benches with longnecks, Bunks is as sturdy and creaky as a weathered old galleon. His debut solo album features the (s)hit single "Devil's Clay", "Hookers", "Strumpets" and 11 other antisocial anthems. Spit & Gristle finds Billy Bunks at his best while doing his worst. Consider yourselves warned.
