‘Blow’ is the debut single from Blossoms, released by Skeleton Key Records. With psyche-pop riffs, vocal melodies, a film noir meets 60s aesthetic, a range of audible references from Arctic Monkeys via Abba to The Doors – Blossoms are Stockport’s newest (and arguably finest) musical export. Blossoms’ brand new track, “Blow” is released in October via The Coral’s James Skelly’s label – Skeleton Key Records. Skelly & Rich Turvey produced the track at Parr Street Studios, Liverpool.

The Liverpool / Manchester collaboration came about after Skelly saw one of the band’s early tracks, “You Pulled A Gun On Me” and invited them to his studio.  The band said: “James Skelly from The Coral saw it [You Pulled A Gun On Me], loved it and was like, ‘Come & jam with me’. When the man who who’s written some of the greatest guitar tunes in the last 10 years, invites you down the M62 to go to his house for tea, first you pinch yourself and then you ask, ‘do you want us to bring some dessert?’ and get down there. So we went to meet him on the Wirral & he ended up producing this, our debut single, in Liverpool.”

All five band members; Tom Ogden (Vocals/Guitar), Charlie Salt (Bass), Josh Dewhurst (Guitar), Joe Donovan (Drums) & Myles Kellock (Keys) live in Stockport and all played in several different local bands until, The band made the art-house inspired video for Blow themselves, on a shoestring budget of £60.  “We wanted to make the video ourselves so we shot it in the warehouse where we rehearse and built a set and got a smoke machine, £60 later we had Blow …

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
