Brendan Kelly & The Wandering Birds "I'd Rather Die Than Live Forever" 2025-04-18 powerful statement as the finalBrendan Kelly is a blogger, father, TV host, and frontman of The Lawrence Arms; and this newest rock band was formed in the spirit of other artist collectives like Wu Tang Clan and Crass. The ambitious 12 song debut is a brave collaboration of friends (musicians, graphic artists, studio nerds, and even a college film professor) and it offers diverse songs and ample instrumentation to set this album apart from the typical punker goes acoustic project.
