Night Birds - Killer Waves 7"


Night Birds are an insanely catchy surf punk band from Brooklyn/Jersey Shore with an ex-member of the Ergs! This single is easily my favorite of their releases. The A-side, "Killer Waves" is a ditty about how rising tides from global warming will kill off the non-surfer populations of the world and will ensure the Night Birds' surfvival (see what I did there?) The B-side is a neat surf instrumental titled "Squad Car" and sounds like it should be on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. Night Birds also put on an excellent live set. They recently played the 73 Cecil St. Garage with Direct Approach, Total Trash, and the Naughty Girls and tore it up before the squad cars could arrive. My friend Daniel Vella took show great shots of the band in action and I'll post a link for that too.
