Video: Bird’s View – Vienna
A powerful rock release was brought to us at the end of the month, German rock outfit Bird’s View released a single and video for ‘Vienna’. It’s a fast paced and high energy indie rock track with strong vocal harmonies and a grand guitar-driven soundscape. The track describes the curse and the blessing of being available and connected all the time. It was written during two days off in Vienna between two support tours and captivates the energy and at times feeling of powerlessness when always being connected!
