The Nightbirds - Rain

Review by Michiel Schatborn

The Nightbirds' latest album, Rain, is a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of punk and new wave. The band has always had a knack for channeling the raw energy and attitude of the late '70s and early '80s, and Rain is no exception.

The album kicks off with the title track, a moody and atmospheric number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the band launches into a series of high-energy, fast-paced tracks like "I Need Love" and "Bad Luck Charm," which showcase their signature blend of punk, power-pop, and rock-and-roll.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Left in the Dark," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's softer side. Lead vocalist Carla Wolff's voice is particularly impressive on this track, as she delivers an emotional performance that is both vulnerable and powerful.

Summary by Michiel Schatborn

Rain is a solid album that is sure to please Nightbirds fans and anyone who loves punk and new wave music. It's a testament to the band's ability to stay true to their roots while also evolving and pushing their sound forward.
