Tweak Bird Debut "People" from "Undercover Crops"

Tweak Bird have debuted their brand new track "People" from sludge-pop duo's new EP Undercover Crops, due October 9 via Volcom Entertainment. The track premiered via SPIN this week who said, "'People' mixes a Big Business bazooka blast, some classic Southern rock choogle, and some daisy-sniffing Meat Puppets harmonies." Brothers Ashton and Caleb Bird, now based in Los Angeles by-the-way-of Southern Illinois, have been making loud, heavy music together for a better part of a decade in various incarnations. Undercover Crops was recorded over a long weekend in June with Toshi Kasai and features seven catchy, melodic and poppy, yet very heavy, stoned-out and shoegazing tracks. The band is currently on tour playing direct support for The Melvins.

"Tweak Bird is sure to have fans of Black Sabbath and Boba Fett sharing enthusiastic high-fives." - My Old Kentucky Blog

"Produced by the Deaf Nephews (Dale Crover from the Melvins and Toshi Kasai from Big Business), the album record follows in a similar path to their LA cronies/production team; big drums, big riffs, and hidden pop sweetness." - Brooklyn Vegan

"The guys take prog, give it a psychedelic edge, and tumble dry with scorched desert air... Tweak Bird - the band and the album - will mesmerize you. Seeing them live will make you a fan in seconds flat." - Delusions Of Adequacy
