You know something is happening, and when a band comes from Boston, it's usually not a bad one. Somehow, they seem to have punk and hardcore in their blood.
THE BLUE BLOOD have signed the drummer from Far from Finished for their album “Non Rhotic” and two members of the Pug Uglies.
You can immediately tell that the band has experience with their instruments as soon as the first notes come out of the speakers.
The 14 songs from “Non Rhotic” remind me of Far from Finished and Rat City Riot from San Diego, both of whom have made the jump to Europe several times, and currently, Rat City Riot is also on a tour in Europe. However, THE BLUE BLOOD also remind me of Oi bands from the USA and Europe. The rough vocals, the structure of the songs, the down-to-earth nature, these are often the cornerstones on which Oi is built, and that fits here as well. Although exaggerated hardness is avoided here. It's the overall concept that the description fits into.
The rough vocals could perhaps be a bit stronger. In some songs, I also feel that the reverb has been given a bit too much space, but these are all minor points that don't really disturb. Even after multiple listens, the record is enjoyable.
THE BLUE BLOODS create a mix of punk rock, Oi, and street rock.
The songs are catchy, stick in your ear, and are definitely fun.
If THE BLUE BLOODS come to Europe, I will definitely be there when the band plays in Berlin. Live, I can imagine that the band will really step on the gas and blast their greetings from Boston into the audience.
