New Jersey surf-rock infused hardcore punkers Night Birds have recently debuted the manic title track to their previously discussed upcoming 7″ EP Maimed For The Masses. Featuring the same good, old Night Birds signature riffage and psychedelic tone, the overladen with cheesy horror movie lyrics “Maimed For The Masses” is made complete with an awesome chorus and ripping solo. Pre-orders for the regular edition of the May 7th expected EP are now up via Fat Wreck Records here with the out of 500 limited edition 70 gram vinyl now long sold out and only available via the band themselves on their upcoming tour dates. Check out those dates as well as a stream of “Maimed For The Masses” courtesy of BrooklynVegan below. Continue reading »

Anyhow, watch the abstract video below and decide for yourself. Continue reading »
