Night Birds flock back with "My Dad Is the BTK"

Posted in Records on August 4, 2018

Night Birds will return with a brand new 8-songer titled Roll Credits on Sept. 21 via Fat Wreck Chords.

The East Coast punk band will release the album on 12" and also in a limited edition 7" box set. Each 7" in the box set features unique cover art. 

Roll Credits also marks two events for the band. One, it celebrates their tenth year since forming, and two, it marks the return of original guitarist Mike Hunchback, making the group a five-piece.

The band chose the 12" EP format, vocalist Brian Forsegner says, because: “Whether it’s Negative Approach’s Tied Down or Minor Threat’s Out Of Step, people think of those as full albums but, technically speaking, they’re not...They go down smoother, and you’re not left with any filler album tracks.” 

The band will also be on tour later this fall, included stops at Wild Fest 3 and The Fest 17. Check out the dates and the new song after the jump.
