Straddling the alternate tunings of Americana and the heart of a scruffy rock n roll bar band, well respected Melbourne four piece Cold Irons Bound recall the best distorted twang of the last 50 years. Think Tom Petty jamming with Teenage Fanclub.
Ostensibly hiding in plain sight other than to an astute few up to this point, the third Cold Irons Bound record, “No Place I Can’t Find You” shines a profound light on one of Australia's most melodic acts.

Blackbirds F.C. connected through the older, more primal influences of their youth. Bands like The Jam, The Church, XTC, R.E.M, the Hoodoo Gurus, and the Pretenders. During long lockdown walks, they reappraised their old musical flames and fell back in love with them. It felt like a more comfortable, authentic place to be.
