It's been nearly 14 months since this song was completed, I decided to hold off to wait until the world sorted itself out. The time has come and I'm so proud of this release. A sad song about a robbery gone wrong.and how in life we tend to make stupid split second emotionally charged decisions. Decisions that effect not only yourself but your family and friends & particularly others around us. This song does not condone violence at all. It was inspired by the opening scenes of the "Batman - The Dark Knight" movie. The song is about a reckless call from a macho egotistical reckless male character who ends up wrecking countless lives from a split second brain explosion after been confronted by an innocent brave bystander. It's written in 3rd person of a staff member recalling the horrifying event. Local Tweed Valley resident Trevor Worden directed and filmed the video which nails my intentions with the song. In fact Trevor takes it to another level with some excellent performances from local Gold Coast actors Josh Lacy and Bridgette Armstrong. Hope you enjoy my 2nd release and its film clip which will be premiered at my single launch. A sneak preview of the video is just below.
Stone Cold Killer" Video Out Now
Welcome
Welcome to my site, I am a singer songwriter based in the lush Northern Rivers of NSW Australia. I play guitar based melodic indie pop/rock tunes. Have been playing live at venues for the past 5 years after learning my chops street busking throughout the NSW Northern Rivers and southern Gold Coast. Music is my passion and life....... my parents said I could sing before I could talk! Please check out my music from the various links and platforms on this site, there are some teasers at the bottom of this page.
I have released 3 singles since Oct 2020.
“Tapping Away” which is about the social disfunction of using screens instead of talking to the person in front of you.
“Stone Cold Killer” that outlines the story of a robbery gone terribly wrong.
“Mr Nightowl” – a song for insomniacs when things on your mind keep you from sleeping.
I will be releasing 3 more singles in the next 6 months commencing with "Boots" on 1 December 2021. Really pleased with the way these songs have come out and look forward to sharing them with you over time.
Stone Cold Killer - Reviews
“Local one-man band Ollie Twohill is rapidly gaining the attention and admiration of anyone who enters his stompboxing, pedal-looping musical radius. Having honed his chops on the streets of busker-dom, the twenty-one-year-old Northern Rivers local has successfully transferred his street savvy sound (gritty and raw while infused with an upbeat and melodic core) to both the studio and to performance venues, culminating in the pending release of his powerful new single, ‘Stone Cold Killer’, which was recorded on the Gold Coast. The song tells the tale of a bank robbery gone wrong and channels a dark and moody acoustic-noir bent while simultaneously delivering a memorably catchy chorus.” ” - Anthony Gebhardt

Tapping Away Review

Ollie Twohill - Tapping Away
"If Mumford and Sons had a gruffer edge and Passenger was blessed with an Australian twang, you would probably end up with Ollie Twohill. The Northern Rivers singer-songwriter released his new trackTapping Away earlier this month, and it is less of a tap and more of a stomp. The aggressively upbeat guitar strumming intertwines with Twohill's voice for a track which builds constantly for an immense pay-off towards the end. Good gear."
