The musician Benz.Birdz was like everyone else at the start of the pandemic last year: feeling angry and confused. “The feeling of being stuck for reasons completely beyond my control and the frustration that comes with watching all my plans fall apart took a long time to sink in and accept,” he told the City Paper.
The latest track from Benz.Birdz, “Nuclear Mousetrap,” was released Feb. 12 on Spotify and bandcamp.com. This angsty indie song reflects the pain and confusion of life being thrown off course.
“I felt if I could translate what I was feeling and how I was dealing with it, maybe it could connect with somebody, and perhaps give some much needed catharsis,” he said. The latest Benz.Birdz song reflects the frustration many felt with COVID, letting out a screams for all of us.
