Brendan Kelly & The Wandering Birds have released their latest album, "I'd Rather Die Than Live Forever," and it's a masterpiece. The album is a mix of punk rock, indie rock, and country music that showcases the band's versatility.
The album opens with the track "Huggz," a punk rock anthem that sets the tone for what's to come. The song is fast-paced, with a catchy chorus and powerful guitar riffs. The album then moves into "A Man with the Passion of Tennessee Williams," a slower, more introspective track that highlights Kelly's songwriting abilities.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Black Cat Boy," a country-inspired song that features a beautiful duet between Kelly and his wife. The song is haunting and emotional, with lyrics that will stick with you long after the last note has faded.
Another highlight is "The Lies of Life," a punk rock track that is both angry and introspective. The song is a commentary on the state of the world, and Kelly's lyrics are biting and relevant.
