Having formed seven years ago with three albums under their belt, Birds Of Tokyo are fast becoming one of the many bands to take over the Australian rock reigns from the likes of Powderfinger, Silverchair, and Grinspoon.
After delivering their most successful record full of radio smashed hits such as ‘Plans’ and ‘Wild At Heart’, the Western Australian five-piece will be looking to do the same with this next release, ‘March Fires’.
Following in the same musical direction as the last album and sticking true to their signature sound, the alt-rockers deliver possibly their finest and most fine-tuned work yet.
From the opening track in “Liquid Arms”, the album hits an upbeat and vibrant sound nice and early. “This Fire”, the first single off the album, is a fantastic track that is sure to become an anthem at Aussie festivals soon whilst “When The Night Falls Quiet” keeps the sing-a-long songs coming.
The fourth track on the album, “Motionless”, serves as a short interim if you like until another brilliant song in “Lanterns” kicks off.
The back half of the album plays out much the same as the first and certainly shouldn’t leave anyone disappointed. The songs are all well written with great musicianship throughout the entire album and lyrics and choruses that will have you singing along after just a few plays. All in all a great album that should bolster up the bands setlist considerably.
