The Birdhouse

The Birdhouse Burnin’ Up 12″

A six-song release, mainly of pounding guitar heavy rock with late-’60s Detroit power and punk influences. Lyrics are nothing, but on one song, “Shake It Loose,” the band does produce something memorable in sound.

The Birdhouse My Birdman / Don’t Wanna Shake 7″

Two riffy, rockin’ tunes appear here: the A-side contributes GUN CLUB-style guitars to agreeable, half-sung vocals, while the flip is a sloppier and less interesting mixture of the same. Not memorable, but hardly mediocre.
