Hatched in 2023 via tape loops and cheap nylon stringed guitars, Chorley-based British Birds soar from the depths of psych-tinged melancholy to the heights of disco-doused dystopia and back. From within the precariously soundproofed walls of their inconspicuous makeshift arthouse they meticulously craft their sound; dedicating themselves to the whole craft from recording, producing and releasing their records, to screenprinting their merch.

Thumping drums, grab-you-and-don't-let-you-go basslines, earwormy synth and sweet n shriek harmonies bolster frontman Bobby's cathartic vocals and staunchly stylistic guitar which jangles like Harrison's inner demon. The band have impressed fans around the country and beyond during tour support slots for The Lovely Eggs, Pale Blue Eyes and The Bug Club and their 3 live sessions for BBC 6 Music's Marc Riley.

British Birds were formed in 2023 after the closure of frontman Bobby Mambo's DIY venue Brock n Broll HQ which hosted acts such as Burger Records' Boytoy of New York, Salt Lake City's Max Pain & The Groovies, Castrovalva of Leeds, Manchester-based Fruit Tones, and Hannes Ferm from Stockholm. Bobby proceeded to piece together his new space with screen printing facilities and a recording studio which is largely built around his love of analogue equipment. This place provided the anvil and hammer to British Birds' debut LP In Search of Mr Rykyn, a self-reflective, self-made, self-released record, released in February 2024, full of swirling melody, nostalgic sensibility and unshakable melancholy.
