Based out of London, UK and Santa Clarita, CA it's Firebird Union, and the band have returned with their new single, "Stand & Wait". The new offering is their second of the year, and comes backed up with a b-side song too (and you know we love that classic sort of release).
... a timeless alt-rock gem that feels right at home with mid-2000s giants like Coldplay and Keane.
Right off the bat, the single is very bright and powerful with epic horns and a dash of strings seemingly placed on top of atmospheric guitar tones.
Mentioned in the press release notes was that the song was written back in 2005, and if you ask m,e it sounds like this belongs in that era too as it's so charismatic and fits perfectly alongside the likes of Coldplay, Snow Patrol and Keane. Vocally strong, it has that tone to give you the urge to sing along, even on the first play, and trust me on this, as I was humming it back to myself way before it finished.
