Welsh Favourites Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard Announce Debut Album With Latest Video “You”

As one of Wales’ most exciting new bands, Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard have announced their highly anticipated debut album Backhand Deals, which will be out on February 25th via Missing Piece Records / Communion. Following their previous singles “New Age Millennial Magic” and “Crescent Man vs. Demolition Man”, the album’s official lead single “You” packs a familiar punch of wit, retro riffs, and an irresistible energy.

“Backhand Deals is a practice in subverting the ideology of rock music as something that needs to be ‘brought back from the dead,’” says frontman Tom Rees. “Rock should be about enjoying yourself honestly, whether that’s washing the dishes, sweeping the yard, or complaining about whoever got elected. Rock is a sweeping power, and is attributed to anyone who performs art honestly, from Lizzo feeling good as hell to AC/DC riding down a highway to hell. The honesty is the same, and the honesty prevails.“

“’You’ is a particularly sarcastic song,” Rees continues. “I love how it could be misconstrued as a pro-independence anthem about really taking care of number one, not taking shit from anyone and following your dreams, when in actual fact it’s all a ruse to outline the burden of imposed individual responsibility. I think the sarcasm in this setting can confuse people enough into thinking that I am indeed, an idiot. That’s the goal of this whole thing, to break down all of the know-it-all-rock-and-rollers down to what we all are, just people, with opinions… but that’s all they are, opinions”.

Regardless of its interpretation, “You” once again showcases Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard’s well-deserved ascent with another exciting release.
