It is fair to say that rock outfit Blow are still in their
early stages where buying copies of their music is concerned. However, in terms
of gigging like mad, actually enjoying gigging like mad and putting an actual
effort into finding their sound their way ahead in the race. However, some
biography and background for us to steal and re-word would have been grand,
Blow don’t do that sort of thing you see so we are now about to make one up - feel
free to steal it and re-word it for your own purpose boys.
So, Edinburgh based and gigging Blow are a three-piece
mainly rock based outfit and are very promising. If you listened to them on
Spotify (you can’t listen to them on Spotify so don’t hover over the word
getting your hopes up for a link) it would helpfully suggest ‘related’ artists
you may like. We imagine this list would consist of: Muse, Placebo, Joy
Division, Red Hot Chili Peppers, T.Rex, The Libertines, Audioslave and
Kasabian. If you can’t stand any of these bands either alone or as a mish-mash
of sound we strongly suggest you just give up reading any further because you’ll
be disappointed, maybe even annoyed and it’ll get awkward. If, however you DO indeed
like the sounds coming out of any of those suggested ‘similar artists’ then
click HERE and listen to Blow on their Soundcloud collection. Pretty good eh?
(Well BLOW me, their great! etcetc) Our current favourites are Choice and Bad Assassin.

These lads do it all themselves and in some cases it shows
in their recordings but they certainly aren’t bad, sure the sound could be
reigned in at some points and evened out a bit but that all comes with
experience and re-records. It’s not like their charging for these recordings up
online – if you love a freebie and good music, do download the Soundcloud MP4s. Yes,
MP4s don’t open automatically in iTunes blah blah blah stop complaining and start
listening. If you DO want to support them by maybe throwing some money at their
musical cause then like their Facebook page HERE and you’ll get all the gig and
general band updates you need. Plus, they never over-clog your newsfeed with
useless and shite musings which is nice of them isn’t it?
They tick all our boxes, let’s hope they tick yours.
