for… Dark, Raw, energetic, very very loud and intense with powerful
and compelling vocals…" -

Following
their acclaimed début single 'Glamourama' which garnered
high praise from the likes of BBC 6 music and Amazing Radio, London four piece
Blindness unleash a fabulous new three track EP 'Last One Dies' on 18th
March. Widely regarded as one of the most thrilling outfits
currently performing on the capital's gig circuit, this
release captures the power and intensity of their live performances. It
combines the bands trademark swaggering visceral shoegaze guitar squall with
edgy electronica and driving beats overlaid by the enticing dark sensual tones
of singer Beth Rettig. The entire EP will be available on a
recession busting "pay what you like" basis (including nothing!)
via their Bandcamp page
which will be live on March 18th.
For those who
require something a little more physical, fear not as lead track 'Last
One Dies' is also scheduled to be released as a split single alongside 'Flashbulb' by
the fantastic A*Star from Boxing Clever Records.
Biography:
Blindness are
creating a real buzz on the UK live music scene at the moment – and not just
via their fizzing, overloaded amps either. A string of giddily
anarchic and wildly received shows has earned them a fervent fanbase and the
approaches of indie tastemakers AC30 – who released their first single
‘Glamourama’.
Boasting the
razor-like guitars of Debbie Smith (she of seminal indie darlings Curve and
Echobelly), the warm, seductive vocals of Beth Rettig, shuddering bass courtesy
of Kendra Frost and the irresistible thump of drummer Alex Lutes, this
London-based four piece specialise in menacing, electro-tinged pop throbbing
with white noise and black hearts.
Drawing sonic
inspiration from The Jesus & Mary Chain, L7, PJ Harvey and Nine Inch Nails, Blindness offer
up a heady combination of dark, brooding melodies and hook-laden swagger.
"Shot through with the cool icy
insouciance of a shoegaze stadia straddling Siouxsie whilst spitting venom ala
Shirley Manson…" - 'Last One Dies' - Track of the Day
