Blackbird Rebellion released their new track, ‘Backfire’, the opening track of their new EP, Expedient Means. It’s a sweet blend of old-school rock elements with contemporary sounds. It’s dark and textured, with contagious energy and explosive guitar work.
Blackbird Rebellion is an alternative rock band comprising five artists hailing from Hamburg, Germany. With almost fifteen years of experience, their new EP Expedient Means takes us in a new direction with electrifying guitar riffs and emotional storytelling.
The instrumentation is heavy and refreshingly unvarnished. There is an old-school flavour to the track; it’s unsettling and explosive, which makes it a terrific listening experience for the audience. The sound is analogue and organic, instead of relying on digital production, which only proves the fine mastery each artist in the band holds. All of them together form a beautiful synergy which showcases their commitment to musicianship.
Backfire is the kind of track that is unapologetic and lets the listeners sit with discomfort, finding catharsis in their own time. It is not the track that resolves your emotions right away, but it takes that mess and creates art out of it. The lyrics are nuanced and complex, which shows Blackbird Rebellion’s strength as storytellers. The track is the kind which you turn up loud on a bad day and let its layers wash over you.
Backfire by Blackbird Rebellion is available to stream on popular platforms like Spotify and SoundCloud!
