“Raw” marks the debut album of Irish indie rock artist Tadgh Billy King, inviting us into an adventure of sound.

This album is a profound exploration, weaving introspection, retrospection, and thought provoking themes about contemporary society. King’s music effortlessly moves between layers of heavy guitar and moments of ethereal serenity. 

The title “Raw” encapsulates the peculiar aspects of today’s world. Tracks like “Sit and Wait” and “I’ve Heard this all Before” provide Tadgh with a platform to voice his frustrations about the state of the world, particularly from the perspective of his generation. His lyrics reflect a society that may not always give credit where its due to the ideas of the younger generation. 

Tracks “Breathe Out” and “The space in between” offer Tadgh an alternative space to explore his thoughts on the complexities of human relationships. “Raw” is much more than just an album; it’s a viscerally cathartic musical experience that delves deep into the emotional core. 

King’s artistic journey so far is testament to this introspection, creating a musical landscape that defies easy categorisation. He draws inspiration from a wide range of influences including icons like Bauhaus, Joy Division, and Nirvana, as well as contemporary Irish acts such as Fontaines D.C. and The Murder Capital. King’s sound, then, spans post-punk, goth, hardcore and math-y punk. 

His background as an actor, writer, and composer for theater, alongside his classical singing training, infuses his music with a rich, baritone driven depth. 

His upcoming album“Raw”, is the product of an artist dedicated to creating music that resonates authentically with his soul. In a world where musical compromise is all too common, Tadgh Billy King’s unwavering commitment to his craft is both inspiring, and promising. As he aptly puts it: “Thankfully, the songs keep coming.”
