Psyche-pop riffs, vocal melodies, a film noir meets 60s aesthetic, a range of audible references from Arctic Monkeys via Abba to The Doors – Blossoms are Stockport’s newest (and arguably finest) musical export.
Blossoms will embark on a 13-date UK headline tour this autumn. The tour will open at Glasgow’s King Tuts Wah Wah Hut on 2nd October and includes a show at London’s Village Underground on 15th October. The tour will close on 23rd October in Manchester at The Ritz.
Since releasing their debut single ‘Blow’ at the end of 2014, Blossoms have gone from strength to strength - selling out London’s Barfly and adding a third Manchester date due to popular demand and playing the BBC Introducing and PRS for Music Stage at SXSW. The band even reached No.7 in the UK’s first ever Vinyl Chart.
Lead singer Tom said: “We didn’t even know it was happening! We woke up and saw our names next to fucking Bowie and Noel Gallagher, I thought it had been a mistake!”
The band are due to appear on the festival scene over the coming months playing at T in the Park, Festival No.6, Kendal Calling, Liverpool Sound City and more, before embarking on their own headline tour in October.
