Singles of the Week (05//24)

1) Birds in Row & Coilguns

 

 
News from Birds In Row (Laval, France) + Coilguns (La Chaux De Fonds, Switzerland) noise rock / hardcore bands... 

 

The creation of "Birds in Row & Coilguns" presented a unique challenge: the artists had to write, produce, and record everything within a tight seven-day window. Jona Nido (Coilguns) had prepared in advance with a handful of guitar riffs to kickstart the creative process. Meanwhile, Birds in Row embarked on spontaneous jam sessions at the studio, eagerly awaiting Coilguns' arrival from La Chaux-de-Fonds. The roles within the project naturally fell into place: they opted for the Joris/Luc drumming duo, with Bart and Jona on guitars. As for bass, Kevin and Quentin discussed the division of duties, ultimately leading to Quentin's role as the third guitarist. With two drummers, one bassist, and three guitarists, Louis concentrated on vocals and overall song composition and production. The creative journey was further enhanced by Amaury from the Apiary Studio, who handled recordings, while Joris and Amaury took charge of production. "Birds in Row & Coilguns" represents an exciting culmination of their collaborative efforts, offering a unique musical experience that reflects their shared passion and creative energy.
