Sound Birds have been writing and playing music together since 2006, but only recently made their work public. For them, "Nottingham Drive" is a big step up. This rock song bears the weight of time in its sound and its tale, and it was written in 2013 and kept close to the vest for years before listeners ever got their hands on it.
"Nottingham Drive" is written from the perspective of someone who experienced it, so it feels as if the story could really happen, not something out of our imagination. Based on a real experience, the song feels authentic and transports you to an exact moment in time with clarity and emotional purpose. The song reflects how well the band has played together for quite some time.
The band knows when a story needs to be driven and when it needs air. This balance keeps the story at its center, with the rock base supporting it rather than taking over. "Nottingham Drive" received considerable attention when it placed high in the 2013 International Contest of the West Coast Songwriters Association. This is an indication of how great the songwriting and storytelling are.
Sound Birds are blessing us with something more than just a rock banger, and that's all in the form of "Nottingham Drive." It's a testament to memory that this release is a thoughtful, deliberate way to introduce a band that's finally ready to let their stories see the light of day beyond the room where they were conceived.
