Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard, consisting of Tom Rees, Zac White, Ethan Hurst, and Eddie Rees, has rapidly risen in the music world since their debut EP "The Non-Stop" in 2020. Garnering acclaim from major publications like The Guardian, MOJO, and The Independent, and enjoying significant radio play worldwide, the band has made a mark with their dynamic live performances. They've shared stages with notable acts like The Magic Gang and Miles Kane, and were scheduled to support Noel Gallagher at the Royal Albert Hall. Their festival presence includes appearances at Glastonbury, SXSW, and Green Man. Anticipation is high for their upcoming UK tour in March 2024, where fans can expect a compelling showcase of their new, darker material.
They are set to release their new album on April 12 via Communion Records, following their critically acclaimed debut "Backhand Deals." Recorded at frontman Tom Rees's Rat Trap studio, the album marks a sonic evolution for the band, embracing a heavier, more intense sound. Drawing inspiration from found-footage horror and the Navajo legend of the Skinwalker, the album delves into the depths of Rees's mind, exploring themes of fear, self-doubt, and personal growth. This introspective journey is conveyed through fuzz-drenched guitars, a powerful rhythm section, and fevered vocals, maintaining the band's energetic essence and '70s influences. The new single "National Rust" exemplifies this transition, blending funk influences from Sly and the Family Stone with the experimental spirit of David Bowie's "Low."
