Lady Bird
Bien que le punk puisse parfois être considéré comme un terme réducteur, Lady Bird revient à son sens profond, illustrant une attitude rebelle, de liberté et d’idées audacieuses. La musique de Lady Bird est à la fois littéraire et ultra-agressive. Joe et Alex imposent leur rock puissant, mais qui ne perd jamais son sens de la mélodie. Quand à Jon, il joue le rôle du narrateur, transformant des histoires de banlieue en métaphores des épreuves de la vie au XXIème siècle.
English
Formed in the archetypal english town of Tunbridge Wells, Lady Bird’s shared desire to spread lofty ideas has led to them creating some of the most exciting music to come out of anywhere in the country.
While Punk can sometimes be seen as a reductive term, Lady Bird hark back to its deeper meaning, exemplifying an attitude of rebellion, freedom and bold ideas. Lady Bird’s sound manages to be both literary and ultra-aggressive. Joe and Alex lay down a frame work of stripped back rock, heavy and pulverising, but never losing its sense of melody. Over this Don plays the role of narrator, spinning suburban yarns as metaphors for the trials of 21st century life and the desire for personal and spiritual growth. His distinctively English tones are reminiscent of Mike Skinner – telling tales of a Kentish Wetherspoons rather than London clubs – all the while a stripped down Black Flag thrashing away behind.
So there you have it. Lady Bird are a band from a small town with big ideas, determined to change the world and also make some fucking noise in the process.
