ABOUT THIS ITEM

In its purest form, Rock and Roll has always been the music of the outsider, a snub to the mediocrity of mainstream norms and aspirations. Yet, in a world where marketing rules and rock and roll is commodity, a band is a nu-folk sensation and then leather clad poster boys posing in front of Triumph Bonneville’s. But for Two Wounded Birds, there’s always been Vince Taylor on the stereo and Elvis’ picture on the wall. There’s no marketing strategy, no friends in high places, no favours to pull in. They’re from Margate for fuck’s sake.

So with the benefit of isolation, as wave after wave of next big things engulf our cities, singer Johnny Danger has quietly amassed a mountain of classic records in his sleepy corner of the country, collecting everything from doo-wop to New York punk of the late 70s. From this fountainhead of pop, Two Wounded Birds have steeped themselves in the defining sounds of the last 60 years, creating their own micro-community in an unreceptive, generally hostile hometown. This all-encompassing love of rock and pop has instilled the band with a fervent appreciation of melody and a deep reverence for the song.
