For the Birds / Press

“Named in the Top 11 Garage Bands of 2011”

Darryl Sterdan - The Toronto Sun

“Sweetly dusty vocals from the wonderfully named Katie Kaboom, set atop a ramshackle construct of choppy guitar licks, clattery drums and melodic basslines, with all the dudes also supplying gang vocals. In a lousy racket like this, their sunny delights are the equivalent of a bird in the hand.”

“Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in. After too many weeks of no-talents and dreamers, I was lucky enough to stumble on a winner for a change. This scrappy combo from Barrie bashes out colourful nuggets of sugar-buzz garage-pop and indierock.”

Darryl Sterdan - The Toronto Sun

“Wonders of wonders, one of my blogtitles became a key lyric in one of their original songs, entitled A Round "Room." It was a pretty crazy and very cool e-mail to receive; quite unexpected, but in the best possible way. I even enjoy the song!”

The Clothes Horse

“The album starts out with a bouncy song "Threewheelin' S.O.B." that exemplifies the sound that For the Birds are going for - upbeat, catchy pop songs that would translate well into an energetic loud rock show. A Suit You Can Wear is simply not feed for the birds - it's for everyone to enjoy.”

Chris Illich - The Brock Press

“An exhilarating mix of raw rock energy and a 90's indie spirit, driven by riff-based power, soaring rhythms, and crooning vocals. A musically tight set that's bold and sweeping.”
