Birdman Cult – Roll Em Up & Tuck It In (2021)
Navigating the world of wannabes can be difficult and treacherous. Fortunately, Birdman Cult is here to help with a guiding hand through their single ‘Roll Em Up & Tuck It In’. Through the tones of the track, the band encourages you to take a deep breath and be unafraid of swimming against the current. In a world where likes and follows are often more important than self-expression, the band offers the boost you need to be true to yourself.
The single continues the Bristol-based quintet’s style of doom rock and manic glints. Forming just before lockdown, they had been gaining some momentum in the music world before everything was shut down. Embracing the time lockdown provided, the band recorded a slew of singles that they are getting ready to unleash on the world alongside some stellar music videos.
‘Roll Em Up & Tuck It In’ grabs you with the guitars and drums through the opening. The music has a great pulse to it that vibrates in your chest and pulls you under the band’s spell. There is a building feeling in the melody that bursts with some rather infectious guitar riffs. It is a really addictive melody that effortlessly hooks you and keeps you engaged throughout the movements of the vocals.
While the melody is a veritable feast of rock tones, the vocals are this wonderful croon. The vocals act as a smooth slide over the pulses of the melody and get you thinking about the world we all live in. There is a rather motivating vibe to the vocals and lyrics that make you feel like you can stand against the pressures of social media and wannabe culture. As the single progresses, the vocals get a slight growl to them as they call out against the sense that everyone needs to follow trends.
The band have recently released a music video for the single as well which is as engaging as the song itself. There is a really wonderfully weird flow to the video that brings the expression of uniqueness to visual life. The video has everything from dancing skeletons to dad dancing, emojis and psychedelic colouring.
Birdman Cult encourage you to embrace what makes you unique and avoid falling into trends with others through ‘Roll Em Up & Tuck It In’. The melody is a wonderful rock pulse that grabs you and will not let you go. The vocals croon over the melodics and call out the culture that makes everyone the same.
