There is one band from a small, slightly shabby seaside town called Margate in Kent who might love The Beach Boys a bit more than you. Two Wounded Birds have been on tour with The Drums and are offering up a nostalgic 1960's early rock n roll, surf pop vibe that could have easily been born somewhere along Pacific Highway 1. Instead it was born out of the washed up, slightly battered but still lovable Victorian seaside resort of Margate in Kent.
I am surprised by quite how good this band sound - they have a defined sound that is tight, up beat and quite brilliant. Check out All We Wanna Do from their forthcoming EP 'Midnight Wave' out on Moshi Moshi on 18th April.
Their track 'My Lonesome' which is doing the rounds and getting some airplay sounds like an early rock n roll vinyl track you might have picked up from a 2nd hand store and is my personal favorite! What are the odds Tarantino uses this track in his next movie?
You can imagine the movie scene being played out in your mind...
My Lonesome by Two Wounded Birds
Do you hear any similarities to Kenny Rogers?
