Grandfather Birds

Grandfather Birds are back with the raw, charming and truthful autumnal-indie sound they gained much acclaim for after the release of debut single ‘Higher Bridges’ in 2011. After being championed by legendary BBC6Music DJ Tom Robinson, frequent airplay was gained through BBC Introducing which led to spins from Lauren Laverne and Steve Lamacq and BBC Radio 1 airplay from Huw Stephens. Based in Newcastle, they consist of Matt (vocals & guitar), Stu (guitar & keys), Jim (bass & keys) and Mark (drums & percussion). Lyrically, their songs are written through the eyes of fictional characters and cover universal topics such as love, life and loss but represented in an obscure dreamlike narrative.
