Description
Cardiff's Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard return with 'Skinwalker' - a garage-rock romp and follow-up to their Welsh Music Prize nominated debut album 'Backhand Deals'. Taking raw rock 'n' roll cues from tracks frontman Thomas Rees produced for emerging talent - such as Panic Shack, Do Nothing and The Bug Club - and teased by recently released singles "Chew" and "Therapy", the record marks the band's move towards a heavier and disquieting sound, inspired by Rees' revitalised devotion to acts such as Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees and Black Sabbath.
The band - Rees, guitarist Zac White, drummer Ethan Hurst and Rees' brother and bassist Eddie - have gone from strength-to-strength since releasing their debut EP "The Non-Stop" in 2020. They've since made of end-of-year lists with NME, DIY, and Dork; earned plaudits from the likes of the Guardian, The Telegraph, MOJO, Uncut, Record Collector, The Needle Drop, The Independent, CLASH, The Line Of Best Fit, and So Young; and have amassed significant radio support with plays across worldwide radio, and live session appearances across BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, NPR, Radio X, and more.
Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard's frenetic live sets have seen the band make fans in tourmates from The Magic Gang to Miles Kane and were set to support Noel Gallagher - another in a growing list of fans - at the Royal Albert Hall before the coronavirus struck. They've also performed widely across the festival circuit appearing at Glastonbury, Eurosonic, Latitude, All Points East, SXSW, and Green Man, and have toured extensively including a packed-out headline date at London's Scala.
