At the beginning of lockdown, Reading outfit Nobodies Birthday released double a-side 'No Place To Hide' and 'Drift Away'. On 27th July, they release their next single 'Bridges'.
With their heads in the clouds and their hearts in the stars, they have produced their biggest sound to date. It doesn't land cleanly like the dreamy 'Drift Away' or the rasping 'No Place To Hide' but, it's ambition is heartwarming. Too many strum an acoustic guitar and play it safe with bland melodies. Nobodies Birthday have taken a huge swing and, its not hit the middle of the bat, but it's made solid contact.
To create these vast landscapes without the backing of label money should warrant serious attention. They are right on the cusp of something and we wait with baited breath to see how big it is.
Check back here on release day to hear their rock ‘n’ roll epic!
