Bill Orcutt

Bill Orcutt - former guitarist of noise-rockers Harry Pussy - went under the radar for several years after his first solo LP in '97. However, he resurfaced promptly in 2009 with the LP ‘A New Way To Pay Old Debts’, consisting of eight acoustic songs driven by visceral, spastic clatter, backed by either sung, grunted or chanted vocals. It's safe to say no one handles an acoustic guitar like Bill Orcutt, and we are all better for it. That fine line between 'genius' and 'crazy' is his to tread.
