Formed in Philadelphia in early 2007, DANGERBIRD plays slow and heavy rock music that combines NEIL YOUNG riffage with post-SABBATH sludge. Their cavernous sound has evolved over three albums, beginning with their live-in-the-studio debut Homestead, released on SRA Records in 2009. On Homestead, DANGERBIRD displayed its dual proficiency in pummeling heft and subtle introspection through seven expansive tracks clocking in at a whopping 51 minutes. Their 2010 follow-up, Johnny, exhibits the group tightening its focus and increasing experimentation while remaining true to the mission. 2011s self-titled Dangerbird III marks the groups heaviest effort to date: the Russian cosmonaut and Mayan temple that adorn the albums packaging are telling portents of the riffs they accompany. In between, DANGERBIRD found time to release a split 7" with Philadelphia cohorts UGH GOD in 2010 and the Acoustic EP the following year. They also contributed to SRA Records Four-Way Split CD by collaborating on five tracks with Jim McMonagle of the legendary Philly punk rock band FLAG OF DEMOCRACY.
