About Me

Well, as you probably guessed, we are a label, and not a band, but hey, who cares.... Birdwar was started in late 2004 in Leeds by Luke Drozd and Drew Millward, two long term friends with a passion for, among other things, good music. With too much money and time on their hands they decided to pool their recourses and set up a small label to release music by bands and artists they really love..... these things don't come along that often, so please bear with our slow progress. Now with no time or money on their hands, they survive as soldiers of fortune, keeping the label running and lining up future releases, which all promise to be some of the finest music you are ever likely to hear.Current Roster: David Thomas Broughton David Thomas Broughton has been a fixture on the Leeds music scene for a few years with his own unique blend of off-kilter folk. Using looped guitars and vocals and with the addition of a drum machine, he creates, as The Guardian put it, 'layer upon layer of musical quality'. The effect is bold, beautiful and honest and to quote Leeds Music Scene 'there really are no comparisons'. http://www.myspace.com/davidthomasbroughton Last of the Real Hardmen LOTRHM creates Instrumental Fahey-esque musings that will chill your bones and warm your cockles. Based in Nottingham, England, Summerlin has been creating noise and beauty in equal measure in a variety of bands for many years now (including Reynolds and Wolves of Greece) and currently makes fine rock music with Lords. http://www.myspace.com/lastoftherealhardmen Samamidon SAM was born in Brattleboro, Vermont, June 3, 1981. His parents are Peter and Mary Alice Amidon. His little brother is the great Stefan Amidon, who is a drummer. Sam currently lives in Dumbo, New York City. "The most interesting folk album of 2007." -Stylus http://www.myspace.com/samamidon 7 Hertz Fluid and engaging, 7 Hertz fluctuate and mutate live before your very ears. incorporating all or none of the following instruments - basson, violin, voice, doube bass, french horn, glockenspiel, clarinet, mandolin, trumpet - they improvise glorious pieces with total, beautiful spontaniety. With imaginations that rival those of Tom Waits and Stravinsky this is modern "classical" music that writhes and soothes http://www.myspace.com/the7hertzband Viking Moses Info coming soon...
