It’s always refreshing to hear a band taking alternative rock back to its roots, and The Dirty Blonde do not disappoint.
Influenced mostly by various Scottish folk bands as well as R.E.M., this stripped back Glasgow four piece have created a rocking sound that’s fuzzy in all the right places. Just check out their video for “Take You Under”—just four guys in a carpeted room, cut with the streets at night.
It shouldn’t be special, but it’s such a love letter to the ’90s that we just couldn’t resist it. There are no bells and whistles, there are no ridiculous production values, just some friends playing music and, most importantly, they look like they’re having an amazing time.
Keep an eye out for their single, “Goodbye: Tiny Fractures” which is released 15th June 2015 via Two States Recording and keep up to date with the band on Twitter.
