The Blams just shook everyone with the release of their latest single “Blame Game.” As of today, the gloomy, brassy, and captivating single has made its debut on several music platforms. We’ve fallen in love with their grungey sound over and over again – from songs like “Storms” and “Don’t Miss Twice” – however with this new banger the listeners get just that much more attached to the trio.
Unique, bittersweet vocals animate the brilliant storytelling that the group has proved countlessly to obtain. “Blame Game” begins with a sort of eerie groove that sets the listeners up for the emotional rollercoaster we are strapping ourselves into; From engaging, dark bass lines that rattle to spunky guitar riffs and vocals impacted quite heavily with such raw emotion.
Once again, The Blams prove they have the enate ability to make us cry and connect with our feelings on a whole new level. While we are left with a sense of connection, it’s nearly impossible not to go ahead and add the single to your Spotify playlists.
It’s perhaps the realness of the trio that makes them so interesting and so easy to obsess over. And they back their heartfelt emotions with magnetic musicality.
The strength of both the bold vocals, clever drums, and engaging bass lines vying for supremacy as the track progresses is fantastic.
London-based grunge/alt rock 3-piece builds upon the music they released previously. The band says, “You know that self-destructive person who blames everyone & everything around them- but themselves? This song’s about them. Blame Game encapsulates all of the frustrations that we’ve all felt towards that one person who always plays the victim. Yet another Blam anthem (Blamthem?) inspired by all that’s wrong with the world and the people in it, ‘Blame Game’ encourages antagonists to go out and face reality.”
It’s truly an amazing piece. I really appreciated listening to this song over the last week, every time I listen my opinion evolves. My initial thought was that it lingered of something reminiscing Pearls and Brass with the coldness of the driving bass lines and vocals. I’ve gone on to hear a sort of proper blues/soul in small bits, however, it still stays punchy and somewhat upbeat in the sense of being alt rock.
“Only guilty of having what you wanted to be real Only lonely when you’re trying to be real,” the lyrics read.
All in all, I am beyond glad to have heard from them and can’t wait to see what is next from the group. Please make sure to visit the links below to give them a listen.
