When T Bird & The Breaks single, It’s Hot, from July last year confirmed that rumours of the band’s demise had been greatly exaggerated you were probably looking forward to a quicker follow-up than the the nine months it’s taken GTFUOMB to drop but – hey – it’s not just love you can’t hurry. Talking of love, seems like someone’s played a little too fast and loose at T Bird Towers and man he doesn’t stint in telling her where to get off on brand new lilting torch song lit by the coldly burning embers of dying love – GTFUOMB. You bet that stands for something, don’t you? You’re right – ‘Get the fuck up out of my bed!’ Ouch. Still, circumstances seem to have added additional gravitas to Tim ‘T Bird’ Crane’s rasp and his facility for lyric-writing has never been in ruder health. “Nobody likes a cheater…/turncoat, snitch…/ or the type of friend who keeps on driving by when they see you broke down in a ditch,” he belts out – and that’s just for context – he hasn’t even got to the object of his scorn yet. Oh wait – here it comes, “Nobody likes a liar…/…maybe most of all/ but you laid it on real thick and then you walked on down the hall” – cue an f-bomb-laden hook. You’d like to think they’re gearing up for an album and that can only be excellent news. Rest assured the monkey will be on it if they are.
