Headfirst Editor's Pick
"90s slacker rock turns sublimely sinister in the hands of wych elm: hefty brooding grunge steeped in eldritch imagery, like a folk horror Sonic Youth. Catch ‘em before they haunt the world stage. FFO: Mannequin Pussy, NewDad, Slutever, Snail Mail, Hotline TNT."

BIRDFEEDER • www.instagram.com/birdfeeder_band
BIRDFEEDER convey themselves with conviction and intent with dark, gloomy riffs. They are a heavy psych five-piece hailing from Bristol and since forming in late 2021 as noisy post-punk they have been maturing, experimenting and expanding into a vast array of genres, truly developing a signature sound with an overarching sense of woe. They are intent on delivering an unsettling yet compelling sound.
