   About The Whybirds
The Whybirds represent a distillation of the best of rock music from the last four decades. Imagine the vocal harmonies of the Byrds and the Band, the songcraft of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Steve Earle and the sonic attack of the Black Crowes and Pearl Jam, and you're getting close to the stirring, uplifting sound of The Whybirds.

All four members of the band are singer/songwriters – giving the group a diverse range of songs and vocal styles – but without straying from The Whybirds' sanguine brand of rock 'n' roll.

Classic Rock journalist Derek Oliver said: "If you are at all interested in Alt-country rock then you’ll love The Whybirds. They have it all; songs, musicianship and a sense of maturity that most acts of this kind can’t even comprehend. I’ve lost count of the amount of times that Q, Uncut or Word magazine has banged on about alt-country artists to hear music that sounds like its been recorded in a bathroom by clueless embryonic singer/songwriters.

"These guys are the real deal – think Flying Burrito Brothers, Tom Petty and The Band. Better looking than the early Eagles and every inch as determined, you’ll be hearing more of these guys some time soon."

According to Americana UK, The Whybirds "...sound like Pearl Jam having a fist fight with The Allman Brothers in Don Henley’s back yard. But what’s more important is that The Whybirds might just be the hardest working and hardest rocking band in Britain right now – a band destined for greatness".

The band has just released their second album, Cold Blue Sky, which is available now from their official website and will be available on iTunes and other digital media in the New Year.

The Whybirds' previous releases (2008's The Whybirds LP and 2007's Tonight EP) are also available from thewhybirds.com and on iTunes.

Well done boys, the new album sounds brilliant. Loving 'If You Stay With Me'. Sounds like it could of come off Harvest Moon. 'Glow', 'Cold Blue Sky' and  'Something Beautiful (This Way Comes)' are great too. To be fair all tracks are superb.

dammm fine music!  I let it play for a while here at work.  I'm positive you will dig my full band - similar vein to yall's.  We're the Texas Red Legs, ma top friend.  I'm the bass player.  Mostly originals, w/ some Steve Earle, Townes, Drive By Truckers thrown in to keep it real. 

Enjoy, stay the course!  Maybe see ya if one of us crosses the ocean!

Happy listening
