Blossoms are a five-piece from Stockport (they’re named after a pub there that they used to pass on the bus) featuring Tom Ogden on vocals, Charlie Salt on bass and vocals, Josh Dewhurst on lead guitar, Myles Kellock on keys and vocals and Joe Donovan on drums. Their 2014 has seen them release their debut single “Blow”, sell out the Deaf Institute in Manchester and support the likes of James, Courteeners, Inspiral Carpets and Starsailor.
2015 already has a new single “Cut Me And I’ll Bleed” scheduled for release as well as a two-month headline tour as well as support dates with The Charlatans in the UK and (rumour has it) Japan.
They describe their sound as “ethereal nostalgic sonance”. The great thing about them is that they already have a dozen songs that could make up 2015’s classic debut album. Their sound fuses so many different influences without sounding like mere copies of any of them and those support slots have given them the confidence and stage presence that they can make the step up to headlining those venues on their own, which they undoubtedly will at some point in the not too distant future. I expect big things for this band in 2015
