Formed in the archetypal english town of Tunbridge Wells, Lady Bird’s shared desire to spread lofty ideas has led to them creating some of the most exciting music to come out of anywhere in the country.  Lady Bird's sound  harks back to the deeper meaning behind 'punk', exemplifying an attitude of rebellion, freedom and bold ideas. Their sound manages to be both literary and ultra-aggressive. Joe and Alex lay down a frame work of stripped back rock, heavy and pulverising, but never losing its sense of melody. Over this Don plays the role of narrator, in English tones reminiscent of Mike Skinner,  spinning suburban yarns as metaphors for the trials of 21st century life and the desire for personal and spiritual growth.  A mental health breakdown, resurgent imperialism and an inversion of masculine bravado are the story telling themes which make up the EP.  The inception of Brainwash Machine Setting arose from a photo Sam took of a Japanese woman washing an American flag.

"Grime-punk is an emerging genre we are really excited about, and while developing these stories we found ourselves drawing on a variety of influences to get our point across. Over to you to determine what it is"
