Nobodies Birthday are a five-piece rock ‘n’ roll outfit from Reading. They consist of Dom (vocals), Jimbo (lead guitar), Steve (rhythm guitar), Brendon bass guitar) and Tom (drums).
At the end of 2019, they released the anthemic ‘Clouds’ and featured in our New Band Spotlight section (full article here)
Last week, they released not one, but TWO singles. Let’s check them out:
No Place To Hide
The aptly named title is evoking memories 00s indie-punk bangers. The earnest stomp of Pigeon Detectives meets the Cribs’ ability to turn out a raucous riff. This isn’t just rehashing the past. Jimbo’s guitar parts are scintillating pieces of escapism. Get your faces at the window, take your partners hand and dream of sunnier climates!
Drift Away
‘Drift Away’ is gloriously ambitious. Despite insular nature of the world’s problems, they’ve reached for the stars. Heartfelt euphoria washes the pain away as they reimagine the vast landscapes of Soundtracks Of Our Lives.
At points in the verses, they tap into the sauntering melodies of The Courteeners. It anchors their dreams alongside us mere mortals. However, the song sky rockets out of the galaxy with unashamed ambition in the closing moments. This is the sound of a band on the cusp of great things.
