bill

The story of bill begins with two friends (Jonathan Coyle and David Marciano) who grew up together in Long Island, NY. When they were fifteen years old and playing surf rock guitar covers in Jon's basement they would have never imagined that over 10 years later they would be making original music together on the other side of the country in San Diego. bill actually began in the fall of 2003 after Jon graduated from Ithaca College where his classical study on piano would surely become an identifying quality of the music. Upon hooking up with Dave on the west coast he wrote many songs fusing an inherent jazz influence. The dichotomy of classical and jazz influence mixed with a modern pop accessibility is what sets apart bill's sound from the rest. They are a group who can be enjoyed by music aficionados as well as the general listener. Though a great amount of time and care goes into the arrangements of the music, there is also a level of enjoyment that comes along with this process that can be seen in watching these guys play live or work in the studio.
