SUPERBIRD - the Interview

Let’s fly high with Superbird. Spread the feathers all over for those music lovers in need of a wildly infectious band determined to bring dandy pigment and pleasurable experiences into your life.

Hello hello

Hello young lady. X

Well Superbird is quite the flamboyant peacock. It is so refreshing in this sea of crows. How did you choose the name?

After a literal 6 months of playing together under the guise of ‘Joe Fin’ it was high time we picked a band name. The three of us took to the boozer and it became crunch point... Frontman Joe suggested the idea as if summoning a rabbit from a hat, and after a long hard debate we totally went for it...

Tell me how Superbird is different from other bands you have been?

Superbird represents love, colour & happiness. We’re here to bring our super-positive energy into this messed up world we live in... Individually, it differs from our previous projects because this is a supergroup: A triumvirate of heroes who ride majestic unicorns into galactic wonderment.

Who crafts the lyrics?

Joe & Alex take care of songwriting duties lyrically, musically & melodically - quite often escaping to romantic getaways where inspiration takes course...

Do tell me the impetus for your style? I love the glam.

We’re here to entertain, and it makes perfect sense that our outfits, style & swagger matches our music & personalities. So loud and proud it is baby! Loud & proud. X

Your videos really pop. I get a good kick out of the them? How do you come up with the ideas for the videos?

Thank you for noticing.

We were fortunate enough to bag a couple of cool locations and a cracking video team to help get us off the ground, thanks to Alex’s savvy and business-like mind. The key is keeping on the lookout for awesome ‘pop-up’ places, seizing the opportunity and going wild for three hours improvising.

You made big strides since January, how have you handled the quick ascension?

We’re honestly quite humble humans, we of course all like to show-off, (such is the nature of the Superbird.) But we take everyday as it comes, turning negative vibes into positive energy, learning by our mistakes and always looking to better ourselves as a group. Freddie, in particular, has even moved apartments. So we can be closer together.

What can we expect for the rest of 2019 as it flies by like a bird ? :)

Two more kick-ass singles along with a whole load of cool video content to boot. We’re building an empire ready for 2020.

Peace, love, hugs

Love you Tina. X

Thanks a million for doing this.

You are very welcome.

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
