Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard by Lily Brown
Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard will release Backhand Deals on February 25th next year.
Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard have shared the details of their debut album.
A sign of the momentum built-up by the band’s regular single releases during the past couple of years, the announcement follows last month’s sold-out gig at the 1,000 Cardiff Castle, Backhand Deals ‘a practice in subverting the ideology of rock music as something that needs to be brought back from the dead’, according to Tom Rees.
“Rock should be about enjoying yourself honestly, whether that’s washing the dishes, sweeping the yard, or complaining about whoever got elected.”
“Rock is a sweeping power, and is attributed to anyone who performs art honestly, from Lizzo feeling good as hell to AC/DC riding down a highway to hell. The honesty is the same, and the honesty prevails.”
“The record allowed us to discuss the thoughts we have about our lives, the lives of people from Cardiff, the lives of people from Wales, and the lives of people from everywhere whilst openly admitting that we know nothing and we’re just part-time-opinion-havers.”
“The longer we’re a band, I realise that all we ever want to do is effect change in people’s lives and to do that disingenuously would make me feel slimy. So let’s do it honestly in any way possible.”
“Rock isn’t dead, it doesn’t need ‘resurrecting’ or ‘regurgitating’; it needs acknowledging for what it is, and it’s everywhere. If we should ever be considered a band that is ‘bringing rock music back’ I think I would shed a tear – rock should be moving forwards, not backwards.”
