The darker side of country music

With a nod of approval from Johnny Cash himself, it's little wonder that Anthony O'Neill's career in country music has beaten a path through darker territory.

Together with his band of musicians – the Murder – O'Neill's songwriting blends in dark wit and gallows humour shot through with influences ranging right across the board.

Always there's that growling voice, delivering lyrics that tell tales of loss, abandonment, trials and tribulations... and every now and then, a glimmer of hope.

Nominated for UK Country Artist of the Year and UK Country Group of the Year in the 2024 UK Country Music Awards, the band is going from strength to strength.
