New punk from NJ: Night Birds

As of late, New Jersey’s punk scene has been known for its pop-punk and emo revival, but their newest addition Night Birds have roughed up the locals and by kicking it old school. We’re not too sure what their fascination with Seinfeld has to do with their music, but their claim of the punk rock genre is undeniable, aside from their slight surf influences and complex song structures. Their association with Fat Wreck Chords is well earned. Their most recent July release, Born to Die in Suburbia, has caught the Deli’s eye (and ear). You can listen to the power title track below via Bandcamp, or take a trip to The Brighton Bar in Long Branch on November 1st to see them live.  – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)
