Release Notes:
--------
Since first stumbling upon them in 2013 (thanks to Kadavar), Blues Pills has
been a band that I just couldnÆt keep my eyes and ears off of. Their 2012 EP
Bliss totally wet the pallet and their 2013 EP Devil Man took me completely over
the edge of fandom. Everything about this band was perfect to me. The ôsober
Janis Joplin fronting Cream and Black Sabbathö sound was something that hit a
huge chord with me but I needed more. Two 4 song EPs just werenÆt cutting it so
you can only imagine my surprise when Blues Pills announced that theyÆd be
releasing their full length debut this year. Every now and then a band puts out
a debut album and knocks it out of the park. Blues Pills did just that to my
delight. Matter of fact, this album is so good it makes me wonder just what else
these kids have up their sleeve for a follow up to this one. I mean, this one is
going to be really hard to follow but letÆs not get too ahead of ourselves.

I found myself a bit nervous going into this album. Why was I nervous? Well, IÆm
glad you asked. I was nervous because I could only hope that all those elements
that I loved about this band would be intact and from the first notes of ôHigh
Class Womanö I knew that I didnÆt have a thing to worry about. ôAint No Changeö
was also another song that I had never heard before that totally had me floored
with their sonic groove. The biggest surprise for me came in the form of
ôJupiterö which is the song ôBlissö with a brand new facelift (new lyrics).
ôBlissö was originally sung in Swedish so IÆm not sure if the lyrics are the
same and just translated or if the song got a whole new overhaul. Regardless,
this song kicks so much ass that I literally kicked my chair out from under
myself and grooved the hell out in my room scaring the shit out of my dog. ôThe
Riverö also got a full on facelift with some new additional lyrics. I love it so
much but I got so used to hearing the old version of that song that now I have
to relearn it!

Blues Pills have delivered a flawless debut album that totally shows just what
this band is capable of. Listening to this album it still blows my mind that
this is a bandÆs debut. For such a young band to sound like theyÆve been doing
this for 20 years just kills me and I love every second of it. ItÆs so hard to
pick a highlight from this album because in my opinion the album as a whole is a
sonic rollercoaster for the senses. This is the kind of album that both commands
and demands your attention. Blues Pills has joined the ranks of bands such as
Captain Beyond and Pink Floyd in that they have easily created one of my
all-time favorite listening experiences. Just put those headphones on, take a
load off, and let Blues Pills carry you off to wherever it is theyÆre taking
you. Once that last chord of ôLittle Sunö fades out, I guarantee that youÆll
want another ride.
