TimeOut magazine reviews our EP with mixed emotions

 

Just remember each reviewer has different tastes. This time we got 3 stars.... but out of 6? Don't know how that works out

 

Here is yet another review of the EP that has come out today. The review has lots of good things to say about us, but also thinks we sound too much like other bands? Blink 182? Haha. Not that its a bad thing. We don't do it intentionally. As you can tell for yourself, we are not copying anybody's style, we are out there to find our own style. And we haven't found something that people can point out to say that is so FBI in likeness.... the story is online here:

Fire Bird International

 

Since their formation just over a year ago, the stock of local band Fire Bird International (commonly known as FBI) has continued to rise, with a recent appearance on The Underground compilation backing up their regular performances at the indie showcase. FBI's debut EP shows precisely why the band has progressed in leaps and bounds in the short time since their creation.

The -track EP makes a solid impression from the outset, with the band's best-known songs , and upfront, before the orgasmic conclusion of . Throughout, FBI exhibit an admirably tight sound, decent energy, cheeky humour ( , for instance, concludes with the line “but not in a gay way, man”) and a melodic catchiness – demonstrated by singer Cain McInerney's impressive vocal versatility – which makes this EP extremely listenable.

The major setback is the constant distraction of vocal and stylistic similarities to better-known acts. But if FBI can emerge from behind its Blink 182-type veil and cultivate a more individual style, this bird might just take flight.

What's wrong with sounding like other great awesome bands... but I really don't think it sounds like Blink182.... is that the only punk band they know of?
