LA’s rising rocker Billy Tibbals willll be releasing hissophomore EP Nightlife Stories on April 26. Produced by Chris Robinson (Black Crowes), the record builds on his debut, 2023’s Stay Teenage, and captures the spirit of a once-again-burgeoning LA rock scene. Robinson says, “Billy has the rock & roll dream in his eyes, stardust in his hands, a head full of music, and the dance floor at his feet.”
Throughout the project, Tibbals offers a set of songs with echoes of classic glam and glitter, the elegant stomp of T. Rex, Sparks, ‘70s David Bowie, filtered through a wide range of modern influences and attitudes. It’s a departure from his shiny debut, as Tibbals explains, “I wanted to make something a little more aggressive. It’s called ‘Nightlife Stories,’ and so it’s about seedy creatures of the night.”
Billy shared the first single + video, “Burn Out!” from Nightlife Stories, a high-powered rocker that touches on the overwhelming feeling of the pressure to look and act a certain way — trying to keep up appearances while dealing with inner chaos. It’s a cautionary tale about the stress of trying to meet others’ expectations and the fear of burning out.
