Billy Nomates is the fearless alter ego of Tor Maries, a Bristol-based artist unafraid to speak brutal truths in a world full of noise. Her sophomore album CACTI is a raw, self-produced chronicle of vulnerability, defiance, and survival. Fusing DIY post-punk energy with soulful, synth-tinged grit, Maries gives voice to the overlooked and burnt-out. Every lyric lands with urgency and lived-in weight, informed by her working-class roots, mental health battles, and refusal to conform. With stark honesty and sharp wit, Billy Nomates isn’t just making music—she’s making it count. For anyone who’s ever felt on the fringes, she’s essential listening.
