Band Profile: Night Birds

Night Birds
From: The Jersey Shore (and Brooklyn)
 
 
Sounds Like: Someone beating the shit out of you with an electric guitar and a surfboard. These purveyors of surf punk chaos make it look easy, but this band works its ass off. They are constantly touring and playing shows, and whether its an instrumental surf punk song, or a bludgeoning vocal attack from singer Brian Gorsegner there is a constant threat of danger. If you see these guys, you may get punched or kicked or someone in the band may land on top of you, but hey- I've got a Janis Ian record for you if you want to sit at home, wrap yourself up in a blanket and feel safe. So if you feel like being crushed by a killer wave and can picture yourself being greeted the grim reaper surfing on a coffin, then this is the kind of band for you.
