June 13, 2025 – Detroit, MI – Following their latest single “FAKE LIVES”, alt-rock duo The Messengers Birds has today released their highly anticipated new EP, GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ALBUM IT’S ALL A BLUR. Fans can watch a brand four-part visualizer here, and stream the EP in full here. “GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ALBUM IT’S ALL A BLUR is more or less a collection of observations and our own personal account of trying to exist in 2025, feeling like we’re watching the world fall apart around us in real time,” shares guitarist/vocalist Parker Bengry. “Information and personality have become more curated and fabricated on social media than ever before, and algorithms encourage and reward conformity and controversy. People have become so concerned with presenting the perfect version of themselves that we’ve all sort of become caricatures of the same thing, basically just copies of copies screaming into an echo tank while staring at a mirror. It’s easy to forget that none of us is perfect, nobody has all the answers, and nothing is as black and white as it seems.” He continues: “For as far as we’ve come technologically, human nature really hasn’t changed much. In essence, that’s what ‘BLACK HOLE LOVE’ is about. So much of our lives are cyclical, and history has a tendency to repeat itself in strange ways. I think we generally have selective memories when it comes to that.” For more information on The Messenger Birds and their new EP, please visit: https://themessengerbirds.com/. About The Messenger Birds: The Messenger Birds are a fiercely loud duo with deep Detroit roots, blending raw alt-rock with an unpredictable mix of monster riffs, infectious hooks, intricate melodies, droning synths, and unapologetic lyrics. Their sound resists easy categorization—an explosive fusion of sub-genres that sets them apart from typical alternative rock. On the surface, they draw comparisons to bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Royal Blood, and Highly Suspect, but dig deeper into their discography and you’ll uncover echoes of Nine Inch Nails’ cinematic tension, Radiohead’s experimental and haunting ambience, and Explosions in the Sky’s delicate, emotional instrumentals. Their 2020 debut LP, Everything Has to Fall Apart Eventually, introduced the world to their dark, compelling sound. Tracks like the anthemic “Phantom Limb” (with over 9 million streams on Spotify) and the haunting, apocalyptic “Play Dead (Just for Tonight)” became fan favorites, capturing a mood eerily prescient of the world on the brink of the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge of political unrest. Written mostly in the fall of 2018 and recorded in early 2019, the album feels like a premonition of the chaos that was about to unfold. With their sophomore release, Tragic Comedy, the band continues to navigate a world in isolation, where outlandish conspiracy theories spiral out of control and grief and uncertainty reign. The album’s title track captures the essence of living in a fractured, hyperbolic reality that feels like a simulation or some kind of dark satire. Other standout tracks include the anthemic “Midwestern Mirage,” the infectious groove of “If No One’s Going to Look My Way,” the manic punk energy of “Do As You Please,” and the occult-centric “Bad Faith Actor,” an ode to fringe internet culture. Tragic Comedy cements The Messenger Birds’ place as one of the most exciting and unpredictable voices in rock. In 2025, the band is set to release GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ALBUM IT’S ALL A BLUR, which dives deep into the modern world’s chaotic and disorienting landscape. The EP addresses distorted truths, obscured and carefully curated identities, and increased isolation exacerbated by social media and technology. It explores how intellectualism has been overtaken by algorithmic thinking, and despite exponential advancements, history seems to keep repeating itself–humanity stuck in an endless cycle, bound by its immutable flaws. The Messenger Birds have supported All Them Witches (playing a sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium), ‘68, The Inspector Cluzo, Wilson, and more on various tours since 2018. They’ve also shared high-profile festival stages at Louder Than Life, Shiprocked, Mo Pop, and Riff Fest with household names like Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Turnstile, Nothing More, and many others, establishing themselves as a formidable live act and a unique voice in the modern rock scene. |
