The Birdman Cult are angry, and they are disappointed. The quintet from Bristol who bring to life a form of hard, abrasive, and aggressive form of alternative garage lambast how society has changed over the years. Rather than seeing positivity, humility, and compassion embraced amongst everyone, they notice the division that’s stoked between people across race, class, and ideology as something that’s being fermented and incited rather than clamped down upon. In particular, the standards of morality that few ascribe to, seem to be universally applied to us all.
Joe, front man of the band, explains “This song is my ‘The end is nigh placard’ as I stand on the side and watch them all eat each other. “
The angst fuelled aggression is drowned underneat distorted guitars and powerful vocals that beckon for this ‘end is nigh’ feeling that Joe wants to express. A piece of rock and roll that’s raw, sincere, and cut-throat. Garage rock fans rejoice.
