Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard 'Therapy' (SINGLE REVIEW)

Powered by an infectious pulsating groove, ‘Therapy’ is the latest single from Cardiff power pop outfit ‘Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.’ Continuing the quartet’s migration from their Pooh Sticks influenced sun-drenched pop to an edgier, meatier, more industrial sound, first heard in previous single release ‘Chew,’ the new song’s cathartic subject matter influenced by lead singer Tom Rees’s personal experience. 

Listen


‘Therapy,’ released on Communion Records, and recorded at ‘Rat Trap’ studios in Cardiff; Rees working there as producer and engineer for other artists as well as his own band, the remainder of ‘Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard’ comprising Tom’s brother Eddie on Bass, Zac White on guitars and Ethan Hurst on drums. 

Already boasting a plethora of friends and fans in the right places, as well as a cult live following, the key will be whether album number two is as well received as last year’s ‘Backhand Deals’ and how fans react to more of the new direction if indeed this is the case. I expect the band will keep everyone guessing. 

With a 16-date tour planned for next spring including local appearances in Hull, York, and Clitheroe, which gives us all something to look forward to as the winter nights close in.
