BLOOD
Since the fall of 2018 Blood has built a devoted fan base, quickly brimming over the tight-knit Austin punk scene. In their first year as a band, the septet set out on two national tours and played on bills with acts like IDLES, Bambara, and A Giant Dog. With a wide spectrum of influences from Women to Talk Talk to Dionne Warwick, they have found resonance with all walks looking for a band that can be trusted in moments of queer vulnerability, as well as in radical verses of dissent.
Their most recent EP, Why Wait Till ’55, We Might Not Even Be Alive, feels brutally of the time. It is an ideal cathartic expulsion, for all of us defiant in the face of political dread, while simultaneously in need of more meaningful human intimacy.
CAL RIKFIN
