Cardiff’s Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard have just released a new track, ‘In My Egg,’ from their upcoming album Skinwalker, out on April 12th.
The band’s been busy in the studio, creating a darker, more intense sound inspired by horror themes and myths. ‘In My Egg’ is about overcoming challenges and accepting your limits, with frontman Tom Rees sharing the song’s humorous backstory of a failed solo writing trip: “I foolishly went to a cottage for five days in May last year with my dog Norma to write, thinking that I would participate in some kind of cerebral orgy that would gift me ’ten hot bangers’…
“But instead, I just managed to secure myself a place in a customised hell that had all the facets of a waking nightmare crossed with the paranoia I experienced after taking the world’s smallest hit on my friend’s Super Mario bong that one time.

“I wrote about fifteen horrible songs that made no sense, and all sounded like weird Take That B-Sides, and after taking some advice from Norma (she told me to get my shit together), I decided to write a song about how I just wanted to go home and go to bed.
“I’m not made for trips away, at least by myself, I don’t have the mental fortitude. I thought I was strong, but I’m totally not, and that’s okay I suppose. That’s what ‘In My Egg’ is about, realising you’re not strong enough, but being chill with it.”
‘In My Egg’ showcases the band’s classic energy, while other tracks on the album explore different rock styles. Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard has gained praise for its unique sound and live shows, earning spots at major festivals and tours across Europe.
