Hey listen up you lot. You've been waiting SIX YEARS for a new Wind-up Birds album. And here it is. The Ghosts at the Show is out on 5th June and it's one of the best things they've done.
If you want to be amongst the first to get your hands on it, come to the album launch at Grindhouse in Leeds on Saturday 30th May. Copies will be on sale and they'll be playing the whole thing in full, along with a set of early tunes. And ace support from Divorce Finance and Imaginary Husband.
John Kennedy said tbe other week that 2026 will be the year The Wind-up Birds get their due. About bloody time.
Achtung comrades,
It's bandcamp Friday and soon Leeds's premium country band are finally getting round to recording our long awaited debut album. So it's time to collectivise, buy a fucking shirt so we can afford to do it.
They're on our bandcamp now, a beautiful design of our esteemed leader mid-performance by @skennedy_art modeled by the image of perfection that is @akaschubo
Gildan heavy, all mod cons etc.

Psychobilly sleaze, medicinal garage and experimental post-punk heading our way on Thursday 19th Feb, plus it’s FREE ENTRY. No excuses you lot.
@divorcefinance are a Leeds five-piece operating in that grimy space where punk meets psychobilly sleaze, with just enough rusty guitar twang to make things feel uncomfortably confrontational.
@doctordoctorlondon are London’s finest medicinal garage rock band... dark thumping freakbeat with an unvarnished swagger.
@dull.band_ - Lancaster’s post-punk and experimental noise duo, laying down motorik drums and fuzzy bass grooves. Their approach leans into tension and juxtaposition rather than tidy hooks. Fiery urgency wrapped in deliberate simplicity.
All happening at The Ferret in Preston on Thursday 19th Feb. Doors at 7PM, and if you didn’t catch it before, it’s FREE ENTRY! 🔥
