"In the simplest of terms, Amends is a record about forgiveness," says Tom D'Agustino, one of the singers and primary songwriters of the Brooklyn-based band Active Bird Community. "Forgiving your parents for splitting up, forgiving your friends for not always understanding you, learning to forgive yourself." The band's forthcoming album, Amends, dwells in the intricacies of relationships - broken bonds between friends, family, and lovers - and hoping to heal.
In Hastings-on-Hudson, a small town just north of New York City, the band's founding members - D'Agustino, co-songwriter/lead guitarist Andrew Wolfson, and bassist Zach Slater - were three teenagers without direction. Long summers were spent learning how to write and perform songs, and how to communicate complex emotions, which at such a young age brought the friends closer and closer together. "I think starting the band was almost a symbol of our friendship," says D'Agustino. "I think we wanted to build something together." Active Bird Community became an exciting new world for them to explore, a home to run away to whenever life got too confusing, too difficult to navigate. They didn't expect the band to last through high school, so when it did, they had to choose: separate and head off to different colleges, or stay together and see where the band could go. They chose both, and with the addition of Quinn McGovern on drums, Active Bird Community's lineup was finalized.
