I immediately got a good vibe from just this group’s name. A good band name is crucial and shouldn’t be overlooked, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds intrigues me in a good way and makes me want to listen to their music. I loved the music itself and the group worked really well together for an eight-piece band. The vocals specifically had a nice gritty quality that worked well with the music. The only negatives I heard were that the vocals were a little hard to understand at times, diction is key for any singer. If you can’t get the message across to your audience you might as well not sing. I would’ve also preferred to hear an original song instead of a cover. I’m not a big fan of covers in general and it’s really hard to see how good a band is when they’re performing music that’s not their own.
