BIRCHES end 2022 with energetic and uplifting new single Be Unknown

By

Hailing from the Armagh and Tyrone counties of Northern Ireland, Emo-Indie outfit BIRCHES have returned to the fold and are ready to show the world exactly what they are made of, starting with infectious new single and video ‘Be Unknown’. Rising like a phoenix from the smouldering ashes of their previous band ‘We Are The Trees’ in Summer 2018 they have been steadily exploring and carefully cultivating their new sound in order to prepare for this coming era. Comprising of Liam Mcalinden (Guitar and Lead Vocals), Frankie McIlvanna (Lead Guitar), Jordie Kelly (Bass and Backing Vocals) and Delaney O’Neill (Drums), BIRCHES have firmly planted their roots and are ready for a new age, armed with an arsenal of tunes just waiting to be unleashed, it all begins with ‘Be Unknown’. Recorded at ‘Start Together Studios’ in Belfast, ‘Be Unknown’ represents a noticeable step up in sound quality whilst remaining true to that passionate, edgy DIY sound that gives BIRCHES such heart and soul. With nods to Orla Gartland or early Foals, ‘Be Unknown’ embodies the polished feel of a Girl in Red or a Phoebe Bridgers track yet still stands as its own unique entity. Uniquely unafraid to share the raw and often rough around the edges process of a band finding their feet and navigating their sound, earlier this year BIRCHES released two demo singles ‘Always F**cked’ and ‘Otherguy’ which showcased a clear, steady and exciting coming of age. Their most recent single release ‘See Yourself Tomorrow’ truly demonstrated this incredible growth of the band and their audience since those early pre-pandemic days and amassed over 13k streams within the first 3 weeks of release.
