Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard have shared a new single.
Marking the first offering of new material from the band since July's 'The Non-Stop EP', 30,000 Megabucks is a sleek arrangement of bluesy, '70s-flavoured guitar hooks and swinging melodies. Lead vocalist Tom Rees explained:
“30,000 Megabucks was inspired by a seemingly ridiculous but very real request from an old publishing agency that I was with, who wanted £30,000 to release me from the deal. It all turned out fine in the end, but back then I was so furious that I decided to put pen to paper to ‘take down the man’ as it were. The Mega element comes from the total amount of nuclear bombing power required to completely devastate all human life on planet Earth, which is 30,000 megatons. I had been watching a lot of Chernobyl documentaries and also a film called Threads, so a small part of me was quite excited when they asked for £30k because the narrative locked in quite well. For that reason it was sure to be a hit - take that, man! We used to play the riff in sound check just because it sounded like AC/DC and we even played it as one of the walk-on songs on Soccer AM when we were on there. When we play it live it goes on for like fifteen minutes!”
The Cardiff rockers have also confirmed details of The Beautiful Show, a virtual concert that will be livestreamed from the Welsh capital's Portland House on December 9. Tickets are on sale now.
