Always loved th Billions

Calhoun

A great record that is a mix of quirkiness and sadness. Be sure to check out Sam Billen who is also on emusic.

Simple excellent pop

Calhoun

This is simple pop with a lot of conviction. The Billions aren't the best instrumentalists in the world. They didn't seem to have a big budget to put into this CD. Yet the music is sooo good. They dare to try out that quirky stuff that others just put off at first thought. Enjoy!

They Say All Music Guide

The Billions’ debut release on Northern Records, Never Felt This Way Before, is a disc that’s incredibly hard to pigeonhole. At times there are elements of ’80s electronica à la “Hey Girl” while at other times the band pours forth a melody like the Flaming Lips with “My Life.” What’s refreshing about the band is that their pop element isn’t borrowing from standard formulas. The band has a freshness and a quirkiness that serves as a buoy in a sea of mediocrity. Where some listeners may get lost is in the band’s eccentricity while others will embrace the sound for the same reasons. Check out the Simon & Garfunkel vibe on “Asya” or the Neil Young chordings and atmosphere on “Another Lonely Day.” While the Billions probably won’t break commercial Christian radio, they should make a decent run at college airwaves as their art form finds its niche. – Steve Losey
