David Kirby – Of Pirates & Supermen: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
From Wellington, here is self-described folk-punk singer/songwriter David Kirby and his new song Of Pirates & Supermen.
Here’s the blurb from David himself:
In the never ending torrent of negativity and self-deprecation, David Kirby’s newest effort is about appreciating what you have, embracing the present and trying to be a better person.
Mixed by New Zealand based producer Jake Stokes, Of Pirates & Supermen is a 4-Minute barnstormer that builds from a simple lament into a full bluster attack on the senses.
Described by one reviewer as “what it would sound like (if) Green Day and The Avett Brothers got in a bar fight.” The track is a triumphant genre-mash that melds the powerful gut-wrenching vocals of a classic ballad, the high-octane energy of a punk rock banger and the trademark dry-witted lyrics that have come to define David Kirby as a songwriter.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll shout, and with a bit of luck you might even press ‘Replay’.
About David Kirby:
Originally from Middlesbrough, UK, now living in Wellington, NZ. David Kirby is a singer/songwriter focusing on folk/folk-punk acoustic songs.
In 2020, David recorded his debut EP Can’t Move For Doom with producer Jake Stokes. 2022 saw the release of David’s second EP, Songs to Depress Your Dog, featuring the lead single ‘The Shipping Forecast’. Which featured on Frank Turner’s ‘Pass It Along Vol:1’ Spotify Playlist.
In a rare departure from never ending torrent of negativity and self-deprecation, early 2024 will see the release of Kirby’s newest effort ‘Of Pirates & Supermen’. Which focuses on appreciating what you have, embracing the present and trying to be a better person.
‘Of Pirates & Supermen’ is a 4-Minute barnstormer that builds from a simple lament into a full bluster attack on the senses. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll shout, and with a bit of luck you might even press ‘Replay’.
As he never really got the hang of the jingly-jangly style of guitar, his style is mainly a lot of cowboy chords and lyrics about break-ups and being sad, but in person he’s actually quite jolly. If you’re ever in Wellington hit him up for a pint.
He spends most of his time drinking tea and writing bios in the 3rd person.
