A one-man act from Toronto, Prime Birds puts out a wide variety of music that will make fans of 90s alt-rock very happy. By turns fast and hard or soft and acoustic, a tour of the Prime Birds catalog is something of an adventure. On Spotify, the track "Until Everything Is Gone" is shown as the most listened to. It's a downtempo ballad, a sad song about the individual's inability to make meaningful changes in the world. Sounds like downer music for drinking alone, right? But then the #2 track is a screaming blast of punk energy punk delight called "Goalie Masks." It's all of 60 seconds long, and even comes with a video that shows a bunch of goalies from the 1980-81 NHL season. Something like Greenday, you might say. #3 in Spotify popularity is a track called "Four Storey," a peppy instrumental track that defies easy description but is most definitely a flavor of rock with emphasis on drums. The #4 track "Place To Be" returns to an acoustic guitar sound. This track shows the strength of Prime Birds' vocals, laid over a sweet, mostly minor key progression. Earnest coffee house material. But then listen to "What Was Said" which recalls the harder side of alternative, with sturdy bass, metal-ish guitar work, and soaring doubled vocals mixed with growling spoken monologues. This is perhaps something like Alice In Chains, with dark lyrics about "misdeeds that last forever." I could go on, but by now you should have an idea. No one can really describe Prime Birds' material adequately. It's the audio equivalent of a bag of mixed jelly beans - different colors, different flavors, but all good. If you liked 90s alternative music - and who didn't? - you'll enjoy Prime Birds.
