More new music? Oh hell yeah.

So, as I sit here at work, waiting for lunch to arrive, I decide that I am in need of some new tunes on my phone. So I find some old essentials like Black Flag - Damaged, Minor Threat - Out Of Step and the Breakdown - Demo. All three are classics and all three are far overdue in being added to my iTunes library, but I wanted to find something NEW. Well, after reading some email updates from some record labels, I come across a band that I've been too lazy to check out. They're called the Night Birds and holy mother of all that is holy, have I been missing out! These guys sound like they are from the California punk scene circa 1982. I feel like buying a surfboard and catching some waves, checking out some ladies on the beach, maybe work on my tan and, well, you get the idea.

I'm listening to Fresh Kills Vol. 1 which compiles their demo, s/t ep and their Killer Waves 7". I love the artwork for these records and you can check them out below. The Killer Waves cover looks like something the Dead Kennedys would use on a record.  Killer Waves and Harbor Rats are easily two of my favorite songs so far. Harbor Rats reminds me of a little song called Miserlou. Maybe you've heard of it? In any case, they have plenty of kick ass tunes on here that I plan on getting to know very soon.

From what I see, I am late to the party on these guys since they've been around for over 2 years, but hey, better late than never. Big thumbs up for these guys. Check them out if you want to hear something that stands out from the rest. In the meantime, my lunch has arrived and I am about to put myself into a food coma with this burrito and side of tacos.
