Song of the day - "Super Superior" -SUPERBIRD

SUPERBIRD is set for takeoff. They aren't going to land anytime soon.
Their latest offering "Super Superior" dropped today. Early this Summer they gleefully released the super delicious tunes "Cola Bottle Fizz" along with "Kiss Chasing Stars". Both had accompanying videos which were a breath of fresh color drenched air. Joe, Alex, and Freddy (see my Superbird Interview article) put a true dazzling show each time they take a stage or even bop in front of the camera for one of their infamous Vlogs. (subscribe to their channel). They possess some rather bold fashion choices which completely work for these bearded boys from London. They look simply marvelous in sequins, fuchsia and paisley shirts complete with unsubtle aviators. Joe sings with intense bravado on this track that I do believe is the break out track that will fully put them on the musical maze map. The double S song packs full boogie righteousness into 2 mins and 59 seconds. 

"Destiny is calling 
When the lights are burning bright
Together as One 
Tonight is the Night"


“Super Superior” rattles, funks, shakes with beguiling positivism. Much of the music coming out of the UK, that I have listened to, comes heavy with messages painting a pensive motif.  This breakout track is destined to lift your ass off your discontent chair. Life feels problematic, your news feed is flowing with obscure conception. Situations seems austere but listening to the flamboyant sound created by this peacock of a band is destined to works better than the latest antidepressant. Plus, the only side effect is that you could taint someone with your blissful state of elation.


I dare you not to shimmy and shake to this gem of a tune. The bewitching guitar riff into is antithesis of quiet. The saturated, jumpy guitar intro slides into familiar Spin Doctor lick. The groove gets rolling with the bass thunder thumping smashed against simulated hand claps. 

“Suuuuuuper Superior”

Three proves to be the magic number. Get away from the cliché that a trio is set to bring you a bevy of garage band rock. These London lads offer infectious jams usually lasting no more than 3 minutes but the high spirits will stay with you all day. SUPERBIRD offers up sophisticated styling, taught guitar rhythmic phrasing, lean bass lines and fierce drum power. These cheering lyrics prove to be unconstrained. A “GO YOU” bravura song. 

"I battled through the tough times 
Now I see the Light
Suuuuuper Suuuuuper Superior"

Dance it off.  

This funkalicious pool party song high dives into the water right at the end of the season. Shall we keep the Sunhat & full coverage bathing suit simpatico vibrations alive? I say…..I’m in!

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence  draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy.  barney favors Stetson looks btw.  Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments.  Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells  a little story about his journey.  He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue.  He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap.  So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby",  Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me,  " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process.  Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

Artist of the Week - Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia

A n ironic set of results when you Google,Rubber the band.  The useful office staple pops up. This useful educational article appears Rubber: A simple introduction - Explain that Stuff There is also a 2010 movie entitled Rubber. ´ Rubber  is a 2010 English-language French independent, satirical horror film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers.” Apparently it’s based on a true story. Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia consists of Andrew Loper (Singer/Co-Writer) & John Della Franco (Producer/Co-Writer). This amiable duo is quickly gaining steam and streams.  They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
