In The Spotlight

Firebird Union – “Stand & Wait”

Hailing from Watford, British brothers Ross and Matt Churchill grew up with music like Queen, Elton John and The Beatles. Ross is classically trained in piano, guitar and cello, but Matt is a self-taught guitarist. Since they’ve followed separate paths. Ross co-founded Pariis Opera House and released solo material as Hyper Lion. Matt released solo material under his own name. Inspired by Noel Gallagher, Fleet Foxes and HAIM, they debuted their new moniker on “Higher Ground” in 2023.

Originally written in 2005 and matured for 20 years before releasing it into the world, their new single is an anthemic and energetic throw-back. From the multi-layered instrumentation of soft synths and mild guitar at the start, the song explodes into high gear with a red-hot, nostalgia-ladened melody. With a boisterous rhythm, euphonic guitars and a touch of horns creating a stadium-sized banger, it’s their stirring vocals that elevate this infectious, electro-rock tune to new heights.
