GRITTY ROCK:
After growing tired of playing loud indie rock to the general masses, lead singer and guitarist Jared Blair hatched Blynd Birds in 2016, a rock & roll trio with a badass bass player (Rachel Allred) and a powerful drummer with an infectious beat (Simon Hilsman), who is definitely having a better time than you are from behind the kit.
The style is genre-bending, sharp-toothed and honest, with a sound that’s both familiar yet atypical at once. The live show kicks it up a notch with added elements of local punk and blues. Best consumed by fans who like their rock & roll with just enough grit to feel it and lyrics that catch the mind’s interest.
Popular with fans of Jack White, Spoon, Cold War Kids, Queens of the Stone Age, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The National, Joe Henry, The Strokes, and Cage the Elephant.
UNIQUE:
The full album, FIND YOUR CONSCIENCE, BABY was recorded and produced in Austin, TX in an innovative way. All songs were recorded at Signal Hill Studios by Patrick Herzfeld and each song was sent to eight of the top producers in town based on the sound of the song.
