Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Riot Season / Golden Mantra / Box Records
Blown Out are a UK based power trio that evoke the psychedelic jam music of San Francisco's glory days - effects-laden guitar jamming that goes nowhere and everywhere, held down by a hypnotic groove that never misses a beat, no matter how long they play without pause. The blues-rock roots of the jamming makes for a calming experience, after the head-fuck you'll experience waiting for them. Sonically heavy rolling-thunder basslines, shaped by total head-change waster infused guitar freak-outs, gelled together with steady freeform rhythms. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.
Featuring Mike Vest (Bong / 11 Paranoias / Drunk in Hell / Haikai No Ku), John-Michael Hedley & Matthew Baty (Khunnt / Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs)
