The StereoBirds (formerly The MockingBirds) are a Rhode Island based Rock / Pop / Alternative Band, with a tiny twinge of Country twang. They mix the energy of Rock and the craftsmanship of Pop with social and political commentary.
The best way to love The StereoBirds is to appreciate how both sides of their musical personalities blend in the middle creating their own signature sound!
Cowboy Kenny Cardoso, Heather Rose, Johnny Rockstar Ronci, and Kevin Berard are four white kids from the suburbs in love with music, it's stories, and the history. From Robert Johnson running from the hellhounds, to the echo of the chain gang in LeadBelly's voice. From how Elvis changed the world, to how the Beatles changed it again. How you looked differently at the world and yourself after listening to Dylan for the first time. The excitement to imagine a mass of people getting together one weekend in 1969 to listen to music, hangout, dropout, and say screw you. Awed to see the Clash and Elvis Costello not be afraid of the decade that preceded them. And happy to see U2, REM, and the Replacements not be afraid of the decade they were in. And proud to be a part of the last gasp of rock 'n' roll when Cobain screamed the lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with the explosions from Athens to Seattle and LA to Boston.
Today we are sad sometimes, annoyed most times, but always optimistic. Always looking for the jangle in Kenny's guitar, the hymn in Heather's voice, the McCartney in Johnny's bass, and the dance in David's drums. Bring on the new.
Quotes
"You want to like them -- for their ability to
craft "candy-coated" critiques on the politics of
suburbia, and their aspirations of being one more
local sensation that finally succeeds."
- Mtv Online
"The MockingBirds have gone from the "Underdogs
of Providence" to its darlings!"
- The Noise
"There was a lot happening onstage, as Cardoso
did the Beck wriggle over quality country-rock
shit-kicker riffs and Rose swerved among Bikini
Kill, Ashley Von Hurter and admitted idol Tanya
Donelly. Sound like too many ingredients? In less
talented hands it would be."
- The Providence Phoenix
