With a sarcastic sense of humour and thrilling guitar music, the band from South West England share their sceptical, cynical and critical view on the world with us. Currently, the quintet is working on an EP which can be expected to drop in late 2022.

Single Review: Birdman Cult - Whisky Sunburn (2021)

Image
Picture Credit: Birdman Cult   Birdman Cult - Whisky Sunburn Release Date: November 11, 2021 Length: 03:54 Genre:  Garage Rock Origin:  Bristol ,  England In their latest single 'Whysky Sunburn', Bristol's Birdman Cult bring up the painful subject of contemporary politics in the so-called Western world. The free world, the global North, or whatever you may call it is drowning in chaotic battles in which the kyriarchy is trying to defend its means with its back to the wall. While liberating and progressive ideals grow, the conservative and revisionist right is doing what it can do best: turn groups against each other. Whisky Sunburn by Birdman Cult The fuzzy main riff rolls forward like the chains of a tank while Birdman increase the tension. The synthies and the echoes provide a colourful futuristic soundscape in which Garage Rock and Post Punk merge. The vocals are the most outstanding feature here since they change between narrating voices and an atmosphere that so...

Yes, in many places we can go to bars, clubs, cinemas, or even concerts again. But still, life kind of feels like driving with the handbrake on. If you are in desperate need of some lightfooted and free tunes in these days, you are not alone. And thus, here is the latest single by Bristol's Ollie , Joe , Dave , Sophie , and Ryan  - here is 'Try a little' by Sugarmoon.

News: Birdman Cult - Roll em up and tuck it in (2021)

Picture Credit: Birdman Cult   Birdman Cult - Roll em up and tuck it in Release Date: May 07, 2021 Length: 03:55 Genre: Garage Rock Origin: Bristol , England Fashion has its own weird ways sometimes, especially when it is about revivals or so-called "vintage" and "retro" fashions that pop up from time to time, mocking styles that were genuine three decades before. In their song "Roll em up and tuck it in", Bristol's Birdman Cult take on one of the most frequent phenomena of that kind. I am not going to go into detail, so just think of the subcultures that were big 30 years ago, and listen to the song instead. "Roll em up and tuck it in" is a fuzz-laden and massively rolling piece of heavy Garage Rock with a psychedelic air, and a certain Post-Grunge atmosphere. This is genuine, honest, and autochthonous rock music. Birdman Cult have created another timeless anthem that is here to stay. Content from the  MangoNews  will always stay in the  Man...

Album Review: Froglord - Amphibian Ascending (2020)

  Picture Credit: Froglord Artwork: Steven Yoyada Froglord - Amphibian Ascending Release Date: November 06, 2020 Label: Fuzzy Cracklins / The Swamp Records Format: CD / Digital Length: 47:28 Genre: Doom Metal / Sludge / Stoner Metal Origin: Bristol , England My first encounter with Bristol's Froglord was on the amazing YouTube channel of 666MrDoom . I was astonished by the bizarre mix of Sludge, Doom Metal and frog costumes. I am even happier that on this Bandcamp Day I can pesent their first full-length release "Amphibian Ascending" to you. On the surface, Froglord's first album is an eight-track work of pitch black Doom Metal, Stoner Metal  and Sludge. But once you dig into it, you will realize that "Amphibian Ascending" is way more than just another doomed and stoned CD. But let's start with the music. Heavy Doom Metalr riffs stomp forward like a two-pound bullfrog approaching its prey. The swampy Blues motifs create a gloomy Sludge atmosphere à la...
