Please don't change a thing. You guys have achieved perfection. I see that you are listening to Muddy Waters and John Lee hooker lately. Well, I was born and raised in Mississippi so I can tell you that whatever elements you are gathering…

This is excellent. It seems that you have effected lyrical poetry set to music, rap music, for the 21st century. You are functioning on a very high level. I wish you much success.

Band Question - Sounds like:: Words for No Bird Sing

"Nearly everything about No Bird Sing is innovative and artistic. Just the musical makeup of the group is gutsy: essentially a hip-hop band built on the raw sounds of one guitar, one microphone, drums and little else. The lyrics are bold, too, influenced by everything from "A Clockwork Orange" to Muddy Waters to Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz."
- Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune

"There's a huge buzz about No Bird Sing around town and for good reason...they are the best new local band of 2009."
– Empty’s Tapes

"No Bird Sing reject hip-hop clichés on groundbreaking debut… At their strongest, No Bird Sing show off three artists working their mediums to a tense high. The melancholic guitar riffs and sparse drumming of "Devil Trombones" weave a pulsing web around Horton's Clockwork Orange-inspired screed on the terrors of trying to be free.”
- Carl Atiya Swanson, City Pages

"While No Bird Sing's minor-key melodies and funereal tone will likely try the patience of listeners seeking instant gratification, its stunning originality is rewarding over several listens. Those who take the time to let No Bird Sing’s shadowy tunes sink in will find them hard to shake.
– Rob Van Alstyne, The Onion (Twin Cities Decider)

"Is it still hip-hop if the boom-bap is replaced by lo-fi winding guitars with echoes of lost blues tracks and indie sensibilities? No, but with a charismatic frontman in Joe Horton aka "Eric Blair" and a measured, thoughtful approach to songwriting they make for a winning combination."
– Sound Verite

Band Question - Musical Influences:: One Day as a Lion, Muddy Waters, Black Keys, Jimi Hendrix, El-P, RZA,

Band Question - Record label:: DIY

What up Rockers!

Lord Q here, Founder of LA PUNK NOIR and LAPUNKNOIR.com. In an effort to promote Black and Brown bands and artists that don’t fit within the narrow perceptions of mainstream radio, I have started an online show, LPN RADIO. I am writing to ask that your band submit songs and links to your site to be featured on the show.

As you may be aware, LPN is the hub of West Coast Alternative Urban music, news and style. For bands and artists that Black radio has no room for and mainstream radio is afraid of, the LPN platform is available to you. LPN RADIO features alternative urban bands in the genres of rock, punk, metal and alternative hip-hop. I am also interested in introducing your band, via the LPN interview series, Q:15, a daily 15 minute segment, where two songs of featured guests are played, with an interview in between.

If your band is interested in these opportunities, follow the submission guidelines:

Submit 2 songs in mp3 format
Link to band’s site
Contact information of band representative, and

mail to: lapunknoir@gmail.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,
Lord Q
