Bio

Sailors & Swine bring together some of Melbourne’s finest musicians in one rum-soaked collection of souls that have been eating alive Australia’s most hallowed stages.

 

Billy McCabe - vocals, 12 string

Nils Arnold - vocals, electric guitar

Owen Eszeki - vocals, bass

Vijay Singh - vocals, drums

 

Formed from the ashes of the brooding Moscow Schoolboy, guitarist Nils Arnold and vocalist Billy McCabe lashed together Owen Eszeki (Bit By Bats' songwriter in chief) and Vijay Singh (from The Process) and immediately had a group to eclipse anything that had preceded them. Equal parts dark and shimmering, light and abrupt, Sailors & Swine recall the furrowed brows of their past heroes and anti-heroes and meld it all together into a feverish live show that have brought them a staunch following in record time.

 

Built around chiming guitars, lurching, emphatic lyrics, sprawling bass lines, and pounding drums they are the newest signing to Melbourne's boutique label of darkness, Spooky Records. Their debut LP ‘All Hail The Drunken Liar’ is the result of a committed, energetic, yet swift writing process, creatively molded in the studio over a couple of months to produce a result that makes the listener feel that some songs could easily nestle in any of Australia’s most revered underground albums.

“All Hail The Drunken Liar” will be savoured by anyone who looks towards the shadows to find the light.”
