I think I finally have come up with a legitimate review. These things take time, you know.

First off, what can be said about a band that gives you a t-shirt to review? That their songs are so good that they don’t even need to be reviewed.
Some might say that they’re trying to disguise (pun intended 100%) their new album’s quality by hiding it behind a free shirt. I would have to disagree.

When I received my brand new ‘Disguised As Birds’ t-shirt I was extremely happy for more than one reason. They’re a great band, shirts are cool, and it was free. But the fun didn’t stop there. Kris Endicott (guitar player and vocals for Disguised As Birds) said that it was probably too big and I agreed. Not off to that great of a start (much like the Milwaukee Brewers season thus far). I went home and washed it and left it in the dryer for way too long to shrink it down a little bit and gave it that amazing fresh out of the dryer test. When I put it on it fit perfectly. I maybe have 2 or 3 solid “go to” t-shirts and this has now been added to the list. The color (silver ink on black) is amazing, the offset print is great, and the design is simple enough to go unnoticed yet bold enough to let you know that they rule.

I cannot stress enough to each one of you the importance of obtaining a shirt like this one. In a world of all over prints and gold foil printing this shirt is a sigh of relief and comfort. I will most likely be playing baseball in this shirt later this weekend and wish that you would join me wearing your new ‘Disguised As Birds’ t-shirt.

I scratched my orginal ending of “In a world where parent’s just don’t understand I can guarantee that this is one shirt they will understand. Because these guys are old. I’m serious.” I realized that it’s not a world where parent’s just don’t understand anymore and that would just make me sound old. Haha.

Please lend an ear-hole.

We’ve got a new record. Tunes…check. Recordings….check. Mastering….check. Artwork…check. More than a year of waiting…check. It is called “S E E D S”. It has been sent for duplication. The songs are direct and more ‘rocking’ than things we’ve done in the past. Lyrically, I suppose, the themes are more expansive. You’ll have to be the judge. We are so excited to share it with all of you. It sounds incredible – thanks to Hoss Hochstetler at Howl Street Recordings in Milwaukee, WI; and Chris Vita – who mastered it out in Bellingham, WA.

Check back for info regarding kegjams/release shows/etc.

For example,

Tuesday May 27: WMSE Local Live 8 – 9pm. We’ll be playing songs from our new record. Plus some older tunes. Plus some unreleased jams. Covers? Who knows?

Friday May 30: Cactus Club with TEST SITE and 1956. Bring your earplugs. DANG!

We’re booking some shows for this summer – wanting to get out on that road again. Look out….STRIKER!!!
