My Top Five Tracks - TYBIRD
If you're after a track that opens quiet and ends in a guitar solo that'll rattle your speakers, add TYBIRD's 'Out of My Mind' to your list right now.
The Southern California band, fronted by Ty Morgan, built this one from an acoustic intro into a full throttle wall of electric guitar, drums and bass, channelling the same raw energy that's drawn comparisons to Rival Sons, Dirty Honey, Greta Van Fleet, The Black Keys and Des Rocs. Written during Morgan's senior year of high school as he chose music over college, the track carries real weight behind its riffs.
Out now, 'Out of My Mind' is the sound of a band trusting their instincts and going all in. We had the opportunity to chat with Ty about his top picks...
War pigs - Black Sabbath.
War pigs was the song that made me fall in love with black sabbath. its heavy, great guitar solos, great lyrics, and raw.
Going to California - Led Zeppelin.
This song showed me a side of Zeppelin I didn't know. mandolins and soft acoustic guitars. I used to ride my bike to this song growing up.
Jeremy - Pearl Jam.
This was a song me and my dad would blast in the car on the go skate. Pearl jam was my childhood and Eddie Vedder is a huge inspiration to me.
A day in the life - The Beatles.
This is one of those songs you feel like you're in a movie. Knowing The Beatles for they're catchy i wanna hold your hand it was out of the ordinary to make such a Ballad of melody changes and emotions.
The Rooster - Alice In Chains.
Layne had one of the most unique and powerful voices. The amount of emotion he shows in this song really makes you feel every part of this song. When I started singing Layne was a voice that always inspired me.
