Billbunker

Billbunker can drag you down but also hit hard. The world is a harsh place, and there’s no point denying it. But you can scream at it and marvel at it. Melodic rock—fierce, intense, and occasionally epic—that’s Billbunker. Billbunker means it and pulls you along for the ride.

Bio:

Billbunker is a four-piece rock band from Utrecht with a versatile sound.

They can drag and crawl, but also explode. Sometimes, it all happens within a single song. Their tracks are harmonic, ominous, and at times furious. Themes range from love, anger, and desire to murder.

In 2019, the band delivered a furious set at the Pinguin Radio 30x20 Festival in the upstairs room of Paradiso. Within the Utrecht band circuit, Billbunker reached the semifinals of the Geheim van Starsound competition and performed at events such as Clash of the Titans.

Billbunker also thrives in smaller, intimate settings. They’ve performed numerous semi-acoustic sets in cafés, on public squares, and on the Rabo Stage of TivoliVredenburg.

In 2024, the band released the EP 4-2-4 on streaming platforms. Its five tracks showcase the many faces of Billbunker: the driving rockers Don’t Back Down and Ride The Wavethe carefree indie song I Knowthe growling beast Showdown and the epic Pace.

The year before, Billbunker released two singles, Hunted and Troll, both of which received airplay on stations such as Indie XL.

Previous releases include the EP Sliding into Numbland (2021) and the live mini-album Make Up For the Lost Days (2022).
