It's Not That I Hate You

Is music just nostalgia? I’ve seen Depeche Mode (and others) over 20 times and it never gets old. But . . . it also never gets new or relevant to me - where I am NOW. I believe music is missing a vibe and intimacy of when music was new (to me) but with themes targeted at someone that’s seen Depeche Mode over 20 times. 

This is Adult Alternative Anthemic Rock - Big Songs with Big Themes. 

A blend of synth and guitar with an updated nostalgic edge  

The anthemic spirit of the Killers
The sonic textures of Depeche Mode
The timeless themes of U2
The production value of Duran Duran

Music powerful enough to reset the nostalgic clock

What's Next is the quintessential jumping off point for my Second Act.  My hope is that you recognize when and how to take that leap.  I'm in mid-air right now.

GOING PUBLIC - 3/31/25

Core influences: Depeche Mode, Muse, The Killers, The National, Bleachers, Editors, White Lies, and U2.

March 28th single from Avery Friedman's 'New Thing' album -https://averyfriedman.bandcamp.com/album/new-thing

"New Thing" Lyrics:

It’s a little bit of a new thing
It’s a little hard to predict
And I can’t quite describe it
But it’s like a magnet flipped
(Flipped) 

It’s a little bit of a new thing
It’s a thing of the past 
On the edge of my seat now
And there’s crack in my laugh
(In my laugh) 

It’s a little bit of a new thing
I got shit to redirect
Little lace of black licorice
Pulling knots in my chest
(In my chest)

New Thing

How Soon Is Now, originally written and performed by The Smiths and now reimagined by Bird. Recorded in Nashville USA featuring Country Award Winning guitarist Ilya Toshinsky, Bird takes us on a new journey where Americana meets lush strings (Sally Herbert) and french horn (played and recorded by her engineer/mixer Pete Davis). 

How Soon Is Now (EP Vers)

you never know how fast life can change... one second everything is there and the next it can all be gone. time is fragile.
