The Blamers

Sydney rock outfit The Blamers are a modern band—two modern men, two modern women—with a revolutionary bent. Utilizing the latest cutting-edge stereophonic technology, the group—fuelled by an obsession with early garage greats—are at the fore of a sonic campaign to simplify rock back to its basic proto-punk form. With hooky riffs and a healthy dose of tambourine, the group are preparing to release their debut album early-2024 after a string of singles.
‘Hook, Line & Sinker’, the group’s debut single, and the first offering from their debut album, feels like a step in the right direction. Here, the group immediately implements the repetitive, hooky and direct attributes of all good proto-punk with lead singer Isobella Grist cutting through the driving rhythm with solid and grainy vocals. It’s here that the band set off on their sonic journey.

Second single ‘All Bark, No Bite’ gets to the point with a Ramones-y relentlessness punch. Screaming about the characters with an all talk, no action attitude, this is where the band solidifies their sound. And local radio and national broadcaster Triple J ate it up with numerous plays and interviews.

The Blamers have shared the stage with Aussie heavy hitters The Chats, Bad Dreems, Pist idiots, Mini Skirt and blistered clubs around Australia with their no bullshit, beer-soaked sound. It’s a wonder that a band like The Blamers hasn’t come earlier! If you like the hard ass style of 60s punk with the wit of The B52’s, here it is.

With a new attention on the band, The Blamers have been busy recording their newest offering ‘Class Living’, a 10 track album full of nuggets released on March 8th on UK’s Agitated Records.
