Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard: "We can just have fun, nobody needs to pretend they're cool…"
Welsh four-piece Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard are challenging with it means to be ‘rock’.

"So my whole thing is that I'm terrified of dying and nobody knowing who I am, you know what I mean?" lays out Tom Rees, frontman of Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard. It's a chilly February evening, and the band are gathered in a Brixton street food market, preparing for their show that evening down the road. They've tucked into a wealth of food options, seen the price of a pint ("£5.60 for a pint of Red Stripe!" exclaims drummer Ethan as one makes its way to the bench) and now are deep in chat about being in the heart of a huge moment as a band.
"I'm sure everyone has that feeling, right?" picks up Tom, returning to the subject of making a mark in the world. "For example, if we did a special show in a huge memorial hall and people thought it was an amazing show, then it'll at least stay in the memory of those in the crowd who came along. I'd be a happy guy knowing that. Like, I just want to last a couple of generations. Then that all can die out," he smiles.
When new bands come along, that attention can be a fleeting moment, glued into a scene or a specific moment in time where everything seems to make sense. Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard sit in something more universal. Combining timeless rock'n'roll, an unstoppable energy of fun-filled spectacle and a feverish dose of joy into proceedings - it's opening the doors to a simple motto. Throw away your worries and head to the dancefloor, it's time to party.
