Blossoms

Blossoms are a great new up and coming band from Stockport, Greater Manchester. They're described as a 'tripped out guitar band' or 'psych rock'. They have already been compared to bands such as Peace and Temples.

























They were formed in 2013 and consist of 5 members; Tom Ogden, Charlie Salt, Josh Dewhurst, Joe Donovan & Myles Kellock.
They've received many positive reviews such as this one from NME;
"Manchester's Blossoms offer a lighter take on psychedelia, one that's steeped in classic British pop songwriting"
And this one from Manchester Evening News;

          "Not content with being lumped in with Manc music’s current psych revival,           Stockport five-piece Blossoms have opted to invent their very own sub-genre: Ethereal Nostalgic Sonance."

The band have an EP called 'Blown Rose' that was released in July. It consists of four tracks, including 'Blown Rose' and 'Madeline', both excellent songs. They have a new single called 'Charlemagne' which was released today and other singles called 'Cut me and I'll Bleed' and 'You pulled a gun on me'. Their songs are usually very upbeat with their psychedelic guitar riffs, and leave listeners feeling positive and happy.

The band are currently touring the UK.

You can listen to their songs on Spotify or you can buy them on iTunes. I highly recommend that you listen to this amazing band & follow them on Twitter for more updates!
