MOURNING BIRDS

Mourning Birds album and tracks - Press And Feedback . . .

 

'Something has happened to transform them from mere rabble rousing rebels without much of a clue into a keenly focussed class act." . . . 'This is an invigorating debut brimming with spontaneity and guts. Watch them fly.'' (Ben Wilmott, God Is In The TV)

(Abbie McCarthy, BBC Introducing Radio Show)

 

"Mourning Birds have made a fantastic album" (Simon Hunt, Medway Jellyfish)

 

"Imagine the illegitimate lovechild of Jack White being raised by The Ramones." (ThePropaganda.com)

 

"British balls-out garage-rock that picks you up, slams you over its knee, slaps your arse red and makes you run for it'' (NME).

 

"Now here’s a band that’s going places – one comment i heard from a member of the audience was that ‘Mourning Birds are the best band i have heard since Palma Violets’ quite the accolade as Palma Violets are in my top ten bands, and I don’t disagree." (GoldenCage from Oct 2015 show at Traitors Gate, Essex)

 

'The Last Thing (I Need) - "Stoner punk cracker from British rockers’ brand new tornado debut album."  (50thirdand3rd)

“Mourning Birds unleash an array of raspy infectious tunes, leaving us begging for more AND for a full length album. The hype, all in all, appears to be justified” (Sonic Shocks)

 

"Mourning Birds have been exciting me more and more with each single release, and the word is that they have their debut album ready to go, sometime in early 2015. They specialise in 2- to 3-minute trashy/grungy garage rock outs, and these guys have the potential to be huge." (Andy Runacres, Little Indie Blogs)

 

"glorious gutter punk energy" (God Is In The TV)

 

“This is garage rock at its best”. (The Zine)

"Fuzzed out vocals, scuzzy guitars, relentless drums. Lovely" (This Feeling).

 

“Kent's Mourning Birds are literally exploding under-radar”  (With Guitars)

 

"Drowning in razorblade riffs, grizzled basement grot and a rabid energy that hits like a giant slap round chops, ‘Exile’ is a nerve jolting piece of pent-up nihilism that takes a defibrillator to the spirit crushing grind of small town boredom." "...their ‘1-2-3-4’ rush of Ramones invective, and clattering storm of early Nirvana and snotty ’80s punk, is a release of noisey-boysy angst that bounces off the walls with a grinning exuberance. It’s a blazing two-minute adrenalin shot that pits Mourning Birds alongside raucous contemporaries such as Savages and Wet Nuns, and kick-starts the new year with a gloriously scuzzy, hard stomping battle charge." (GigSlutz)

 

"Leave Me Alone is a bombastic shot of badass distorted and dirty garage blues" (Record Of The Day 50third&3rd) 

 

“Rock’n’roll for the new generation” (GigglePics)

 

"Riff-chugging heavy angst-throbbing garage punk rock ‘n’ roll single,‘Leave Me Alone.’ Mourning Birds continue to fly high above the rest, somewhere between The Ramones and Dr Feelgood, and always with a full tank of petrol. ‘Leave Me Alone‘ is 100% sweaty garage rock ‘n’ roll. LOVE IT!" (Single Of The Month, Buzzin Music)
