Bila

Caustic Hardcore/Noise Punk band BILA is characterised by high octane socially and humour charged bursts of energy in visceral and ragey, Maltese song form.

The trio started out towards the end of 2014 and later on released debut EP ‘Liba’ on cassette with Youth of Today, a small label from Venice (now re-released digitally with Malta-based KEWN records). This led to tours both in Malta and Italy, namely Venice in 2015. BILA has played multiple venues across Malta and at festivals such as Rock the South Malta and Sickfest among others. BILA were also invited to perform in the annual ‘Malta Takes London’ event both in 2016 and 2017, at Proud Camden and Blundell Studios respectively. BILA had their first 7’’ release ‘Do What I Want’ on Canadian Imprint Kingfisher Bluez and KEWN records in June 2018 to great success. In late 2018, BILA released their EP Bestjarju on KEWN records and after which played multiple shows and a mini tour in the UK in February 2019.

In late 2019 BILA had the opportunity to tour alongside Illinois-based post-metal band Staghorn across the American Midwest to promote the release of their EP ‘Deheb, Inċens u BILA’. In 2024, the band is now preparing for the release of a brand new album.
