New Music from The Wind-Up Birds

There’s lots of jagged-edge guitar rock coming out at the moment, but one of the acts I like to keep my eye on is The Wind-Up Birds. The band hails from the UK, and they’re currently preparing to release Poor Music next week. This tune here displays the band at full-force, moving quickly into the track to unleash a furious bit of rock n’ roll. Still, they hold onto a general pop structure, making the tune infectious almost from the minute you press go. When you’re looking for great releases next week, keep these guys in mind.

Quick Number from The Wind-Up Birds

Looks like one of my favorite acts will be releasing a new album this May. The Wind-Up Birds came to my attention a few years back, and I’ve really enjoyed the work they’ve put in so far. This new tune is the first single off their new record, Poor Music. I love the way the guitars sound, while the vocal delivery definitely bears some resemblance to Art Brut. Be it the jagged guitar or the way they quickly burst into a more forceful music foray within the tune, it still catches my ears. Look for their new record just before the summer hits.
