My fav new band? Possibly..
review:
Corporation: Blend are not like other bands, let's
get that straight. To release a single of the
magnitude and grandiosity of 'For All My Sins / Blew
It' is an amazing achievement, let alone for a debut
single. The initial dark electro swathes of For All
My Sins gradually builds up and erupts into the manic
chorus, and it's true to say that nothing else making
waves in the current rock climate sounds like this
inventive, ambitious four-piece. Blew It is a more
aggressive affair altogether, musically not a million
miles away from Placebo, complete with a very Axl
Rose vocal. Or dare we say Bruce Dickinson'
Forerunners of the burgeoning 'New Cross' scene
('London's true bohemian quarter'), C:B have huge
songs as demonstrated here and literally tonnes of
potential. In a world where bland, 'indie' bands and
faux schlock-rockers rule the airwaves, perhaps
Corporation: Blend's time has come.

Band Info:
In the summer of 2000, three music loving individuals
became one as corporation:blend was born. They set
about cultivating a sound and energy that was
independent of their peers and in 2001, with an
unwavering self belief and the aid of various
drummers, became fledgelings on the London circuit.
By 2002 they had a reputation. By 2003, they had a
demo - "She's Nothing Special", "Contradiction",
"Blew It' - that was in a calibre of it's own.
Propelled to being as busy as an unsigned band can
get, corporation:blend played shows with six by
seven, the parkinsons, ten benson, art brut and my
red cell, receiving consistantly impressive live/demo
reviews.
Yet it wasn't until November 2003 - when drummer Ash
Howard joined - that corporation:blend came of age.
Opening for king adora, the audience discovered for
themselves a truly great rock band and by the end
were shouting for tops to come off, applauding loudly
and falling instantly in love. corporation:blend
spent the rest of the night signing autographs and
newly purchased (and quickly sold out) demos.
2004:
A new journey begins, armed with a travelling, eager
fan base and a double A-side 'for all my sins'/ 'blew
it'. A grand rock entrance heralding a new dawn in
the first week of june. corporation:blend don't have
modest pretensions. they want to be on the road. They
want to be in your home, on your stereo. they want to
make it and are not afraid to prove it.
Understatement: 'corporation:blend are intelligent,
articulate, possessed and beautiful. They have
gigantic songs, a mountain of determination and
limitless potential. An essential part of the
underground pop explosion vanguard, rock stars in
waiting and no one-trick pony'. As Black Velvet
Magazine recently put it, corporation:blend are ôan
exciting band threatening to explode'.
