Forty Birds: Shotgun Therapy
By Gregory O
Montreal band Forty Birds is making some big noise with their inaugural album Shotgun Therapy. This five-piece ensemble is sure to please your senses with its hard hitting percussions and their intoxicating guitar rhythms. Front man Matt Pelletier certainly delivers on this record and right from the opening track “Antonio” he shows what he is capable of. Matt’s complex voice soars through the lyrics as Forty Birds attack you from all directions. Like a unified flock, Forty Birds certainly flies as one, writing and producing all tracks on Shotgun Therapy.
Not to be out done, the rest of the band has plenty of opportunity to shine with some sick drawn out solos. Led by Cory Lacombe on drums, the band pulls you to the edge of your seat on tracks like “Period of Consequences” and “Dead Luck.” Swift and heavy riffs contaminate the record from start to finish. Guitarists Dave Seguin and Kevin Marple feed off one another to create a distinctive and energizing sound. They say that one should often save the best for last and in this case they did. “Shotgun Theory” completes this solid debut with intensity aggression that leaves you craving for more.
