about

We’ve all been there – stuck in a toxic relationship and wondering how we got ourselves into this mess. Finally, we realize that we’re being treated like complete crap and we don’t deserve that.

“Sludge” is the perfect personification of/metaphor for toxic behavior.

Hear the uneasy and angry new single “Sludge” - out now.

The riff in Sludge is so creepy and powerful at the same time, like if Superman was a back alley weirdo trying to sell you things from a trenchcoat or your conscience is warning you of imminent danger. We wanted to create a creepy feeling, almost like it makes the hair on your neck stand up, like a whisper in your ear.

“You can see the truth”

The chromatic section of the chorus guitar part was largely inspired by songs like Speed King, Into The Fire, Highway Star and songs like that, Deep Purple seemed to love those chromatic lines. But then the tones are very Black Sabbath, and filled with fuzz pedals galore.

Thanks for checking us out,
The Jailbirds

lyrics

They say that there’s a poison
Running in our veins
They say that it will kill you
If you don’t behave

Sludge creeps up
Won’t see it coming
It pretends to be your friend
Boiling blood
Sleepless nights
Helpless as a child

Sludge in the veins of the people you love
You can see the truth
Sludge in your mind, sitting on your shoulder
It’s not afraid of you

Better watch your step now
You’re on the wrong path
The sludge will tell you what to do
The next step could be your last

Now it’s time
Things are clear
Now you know what to do
Righteous fight
Hill so steep
Won’t fall down again

Sludge in the veins of the people you love
You can see the truth
Sludge in your mind, sitting on your shoulder
It’s not afraid of you
No No

Sludge is building up inside your head
Last man standing won’t be back again

Sludge in the veins of the people you love
You can see the truth
Sludge in your mind, sitting on your shoulder
It’s not afraid of you

(Sludge in your veins)
Sludge in the veins of the people you love
You can see the truth
(Sludge in your mind)
Sludge in your mind sitting on your shoulder
It’s not afraid of you
