Terrorbird

The Balkans debut LP is not a punk record, nor is it a pop record. The opening track "Edita V" is a good representation of whats to come later in the album. Dark, yet catchy pop songs, but something’s different, something’s off. Another stand out track "Flowers Everywhere" gives off a melancholy nostalgic vibe. The melody floats along effortlessly. The instrumentation throughout the album is strangely tense but when the band gets to the release, it’s all worth it.

This is the outcome of over 3 years of the young band writing many, many songs. The final product is their ten best most straight-forward, energetic, and frantic pop songs. This is a no-nonsense LP, with each song being able to stand alone as its own single. Beatlesque guitar hooks on fast-forward are everywhere. It’s an energetic punk-grind that waivers between bouts of sincerity and catharsis, yet it is also heartfelt at times. Each song seems to be rooted in the bad experiences of young adult romance, evoking memories of teenage lust and heartbreak, the kind of heartbreak that makes you want to punch your mirror and play the guitar with extreme force. It’s Rock n’ Roll.
