"Warning Birds Sally"

To keep you entertained today we are featuring Perth band Warning Birds and their catchy as hell indie tune ‘Sally‘.

‘Sally’ is dictated by these smooth driving beats, fantastic cascading guitar patterns and tantalizingly good backing harmonies. The vocals by Sam Carmody scale a range of notes, conveying such warmth and emotion in the process. Warning Birds really manage to create a real ‘eyes shut, sing your heart out’ love song, but have managed to do so without including the sprinkling of teenage angst that many other bands do. ’Sally’ is a real low tempo indie gem, a cracking listen.

Warning Birds also have another pretty cool track in ‘Ghost Town‘ so head over to their unearthed page to get your copy of ‘Sally’ and check out their other tracks. Here’s to hoping for some more quick installments from the Warning Birds. - Aussieplaylist.com


"Triple J Song Ratings"

Sally

"Great tune guys, a real driving quality to it with warm vocals and real heart."
Zan Rowe, triple j

"(Sam Carmody's) influences shine through and so does his very strong songwriting...worth hearing on the radio!"
Caroline Tran, Triple J

Ghost Town

Just like fellow Perth brethren The Panics, this is a song full of heartfelt earnestness. I love when the horns kick in at the end.
Dom Alessio, triple j

Boy in the Sea Lanes

Really beautiful song! Lots of different layers and stories, and a 'true' sound for you guys.
Amelia Chappelow, Triple j

Plastic Palms

There's a lot of sweetness to this song, and real build too. You can hear the SFK influence here but you guys still own it. This is full, and heartfelt music. Great song!

"Madeloud review"

Warning Birds make big, harmonic rock that instantly burrows into the brain, triggering all of the pleasure receptors along the way. Stand out track "Ghost Town" has the mood and scope of the best of Travis' work, but with a smarter, less cluttered edge that reminds us of nothing less than The Go-Betweens. Really lovely. - adam schragin


"Arts Martial @ Fly By Night, Perth"

A steady crowd gathered to watch an explosively diverse line-up of West Australian music in support of Youth Focus, a non-profit based organisation working with young people who show early signs associated with suicide, depression and self-harm.

A brand new initiative organised by Perth musician, Sam Carmody, Black Clouds Gold Linings saw the energetically entertaining Arts Martial deliver a fiery, sharp set but not before alternative-folk singer Davey Craddock wooed the relaxed crowd, Sam Carmody and A Town Called Panic enticed all with unusual harmonies and then Art in Algebra brought a fresh, playful sound to the pleasantly peaceful atmosphere.

Sam Carmody and A Town Called Panic took to the romantically-lit stage, offering a delightfully captivating set. Perhaps it was the change in pace and varying vocal harmonies that saw the audience re-gain energy and interest after the state of tranquillity induced by Craddock’s performance. The upbeat, acoustic melodies provided a contrast to some of the lyrics voiced throughout the intriguingly volatile and uplifting performance. Carmody was at ease and confident on stage and the growing, happy crowd drank and applauded generously during his engaging performance which proved, like his idea behind Black Clouds Gold Linings, that music can really uplift and enliven the spirit.

Black Clouds Gold Linings was a night of exciting, upcoming West Australian music. The concept behind the evening of entertainment was great and given that it’s the first of its kind, Carmody deserves to be congratulated. The making of an annual event would be greatly supported. - FasterLouder

Bio

Western Australias Warning Birds have emerged with the first sounds from their forthcoming second EP, produced with Grammy Award-winning US engineer, Trina Shoemaker (Queens of the Stone Age). The collaboration has worked to define the boldening direction of the band, a relationship proven in the compelling, intelligent pop of first single, Horrors.

Horrors evokes the experimental, concept-driven music of the bands influences; up-tempo, rhythmic melancholia in the vein of Talking Heads, and strongly atmospheric and melodic in a way that recalls Tears for Fears.

Warning Birds have announced a string of national Australian dates in support of the new single, beginning with the WA Export Showcase at the Western Australian Music Industry (WAMi) Festival on Thursday the 7th of November.

Horrors is due for release via MGM on November 29.
