Skinny Legs

Drawing inspiration from bands like Arctic Monkeys, Violent Soho and Alt-J "Sweet" is a song written about a traveling as Danny Smith (vocals) explains “The song was written about trying to enjoy the simple pleasures of life while travelling, but having experiences coloured by depressing realities.”
 
Musically “Sweet” formed as a part of a very successful songwriting challenge as Jamie (drums) explains “Nick (lead guitar) wrote three songs in three days, two of which made it to the EP. “Sweet” soon became one the band’s favourites. Starting with a simple melancholy guitar riff, the song grew until we were happy with the structure. Then it was Danny’s lyrics that took the song from good to great. Starting was the imposing phrase, “Fly high when you leave”, Danny showed his ability to interpret Nick’s songwriting and add elements from left-field that leave the song with a distinctive 'Birdhouse' sound.”

EP 'To Whom It May Concern' Out Friday March 31st 

'Rockstar City' is a postcard home to my Mum about my first gig in New York City. I signed up for a 15 minute slot to play at the famous Bitter End, where all the folk stars started out in the 1960s. Bob Dylan had been a regular there, Billy Joel had played 'Piano Man' there two weeks before I performed, and Etta James, Joni Mitchell and plenty other rockstars had sung there too. The names could be read off from the list of past performers on the wall behind the bar and I was really nervous. I powered through and even though I was a bit shaken and awkward I made it out okay. This song's about taking everything in and celebrating the little wins you get sometimes and sharing them with the people you love. 🗽
