Billy Bibby names Elvis Presley, Fleetwood Mac, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, Noel Gallagher, and George Harrison of The Beatles as key musical influences. The band is fronted by Billy Bibby, former lead guitarist and founding member of Catfish and the Bottlemen. In 2014, Billy Bibby began writing songs and playing acoustic shows in various UK cities in order to test public response to his new music. In the spring of 2015, Billy Bibby began seeking musicians to form a new band. Auditions were conducted with the help of Simon Jones, formerly of The Verve, and his business partner James Coe, at their recording studio (Faktory Studios) in Great Barrow, Chester. Band members Rob Jones (lead guitar), Matt Thomas (bass), and Michael Pearce (drums) were selected to form the original lineup of the four-piece ensemble. On 3 February 2018, Thomas Hill (lead guitar) and Ailís Mackay (drums) played their first live gig with the band at Nambucca in London, replacing former members Rob Jones and Michael Pearce.
