As if spilling right out of some portal from the past, smack into the middle of the 2020’s, Birdlegs pairs Jade Puget (AFI), Gary Gutfeld (Corduroy / Hi-Fives), and Eric Ozenne (The Nerve Agents / Unit Pride), who came up together in Northern California’s RedemptIon 87 in the late 1990’s, with Ryan Doria (Overexposure / Pressure Cracks). This is not a rehash of the same old ways seeking to resurrect 1987 hardcore practices, this is a relevant fusion of old school hardcore punk with a myriad of edges being pushed in all directions. Birdlegs debut single, Mind In The Margins, discusses the perils of social media and it’s effect on society at large, the track is taken from their debut album, Visions Beyond The Ape Cave, that will be released on the 10th April via Revelation Records.

Frustrated by the destabilizing force of social media and its intentionally addictive program design. The question that the song ‘Mind In the Margins’ asks is ‘do you mind?’ being clueless to what is happening to you when you use social media apps? ‘Do you mind’ that society is being shaped by unscrupulous characters who hold so much power? ‘Do you mind your mind being syphoned and sculpted for profit and experimentation?” (vocalist Eric Ozenne)
