And as always, next to each album title is a “Purchase from the band or label” link, which takes you directly to the best possible way to purchase each album… directly from the band!

Birdcloud: F*ck You Cop

June 18, 2012 1 Comment

During our Five Questions with Birdcloud interview with the band right before Valentine’s Day, the Nashville 2-piece told us about a little line-dance number they were working on. “Our new hit ‘FUK U COP’ is a line dance… it’s gonna be super produced and real nineties pop country soundin’. Just retarded. The joy of my life.”

Well, wait no longer! The video for ‘F*ck You Cop’ dropped today and the Birdcloud ladies lived up to their promise. Definitely worth the wait! Check out their new video below and catch them on tour with Natural Child this Summer. See the full dates HERE:
