Blackbud have… played over 250 gigs...been given the nod of approval by Jimmy Page… toured the UK and Europe and shared the bill with the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Elbow, The Bees, Editors, 22-20s, Hope Of The States, Babyshambles ….been taken under the wings of Youth, David Bottrill and Michael Eavis…been picked up by Fierce Panda…signed to Independiente….had a song in a Hollywood film….a Zane Lowe session and single of the week….quite a start for a band just into their twenties.
This young West Country trio have a sound as prodigious as their self-made achievements. Bold, epic, soulful, emotional, intense, uplifting: Blackbud do all of these, then top it off with the soaring voice of Joe Taylor. Musically, their collective backgrounds in college bands has forged a solid but imaginative foundation upon which Taylor (guitars), Adam Newton (bass) and Sam Nadel (drums) are building big-sky rock music and becoming (as described by David Sinclair in The Times) “truly an epic band in the making”.
Tonight they'll be launching their debut album 'From The Sky', released July 24 on Independiente.
