Birds of Prrrey is a three-piece indie rock band from Montreal that makes loud music for big hearts ⋆˚✿˖°. Paying homage to the Riot Grrrl movement through their direct lyrics and a DIY artistic ethos, they channel the spirit of feminist punk through their powerful vocals, overdriven distorted guitar, heavy bass lines and thundering drums. Active in Montreal’s underground scene, they bring passion and intensity to every performance.

Road or studio?
Studio? We haven’t been on the road much, although it’s awesome to be able to get out of the city just to go play music. We’re super interested in going on tour. It’s definitely the next move for us.
Any shows or albums coming up?
We are currently working on an album! It’s been really exciting and a lot of work, so we’re super excited to show it to the world. It’s a longer format than anything we’ve ever done, so it’s more of a challenge, but one we are definitely willing to face. For shows, we have some huge news coming soon… we can’t reveal too much, but it shall be revealed in due time.
