About Me |
|
We like to think we are a hard working band based in the midlands. With some help from friends we run our own company "ondryland". We have already nearly killed ourselves this year, completing almost a 5 week tour with Meet Me In St. Louis in January, then disgusting audiences in Ireland with Tubelord. We have so far destroyed 9 countries in Europe in less than 4 months. Between all this we have been recording our new record which we will be releasing in August.

"The tightness of Blakfish's eccentric high-energy offbeat stop-start hardcore is an intoxicating blend of elemental forces, with reggae breakdowns and hip hop interludes lightening the mood amidst scalding, paint stripping riot rock topped by alternately melodic and throat-ripping raging vocals. For fans of Converge, Spy vs. Spy, Mogwai, Fugazi and At the Drive In, this is the sound of intelligent intensity with serious musicianship and a unique party vibe, so cheer up kids, Blakfish are here... life's not so bad!" "Bring your earplugs and don't bring your parents! Blakfish are here and they want you to know it too. Here is something dynamic, explosive, aggresive and intense. With time signatures bouncing around like drunken teenagers on a trampoline, and vocals to make even your own throat hurt. This band will change your life." "I'd suggest catching them live, listen to their MySpace tracks, buy Gold, do anything to catch them now. Worthy artists of the month. Any month." "Blakfish are one of the most innovative and exciting acts you're likely to discover this year." "Blakfish are one of the most important British bands of our time." "Blakfish's blowtorch-to-the-face – of – Mclusky hardcore ended up scaring every attendee. Proving Blakfish are certainly worth as much as any of their showmates, and this group should be watched, preferably up close and in the middle of a riot." "Blakfish’s set goes swimmingly. The energetic punk-rockers reel in the crowd by fusing a range of interchanging melodies and rhythms, before the lead singer casts himself off the stage halfway through their final song."
