Album of the Week: Blues Pills

Blues Pills – Blues Pills (2014)

I happened to come across this band when I saw they were supporting another favorite band of mine, Orchid (a band I highly recommend with obvious influences from Black Sabbath). I saw a picture of the band and was immediately interested.

Their appearance alone has a very late 60’s/early 70’s vibe. As everyone knows that style is definitely my jam, so I was very interested to hear what they sounded like.

Their debut album Blues Pills was released July 2013. It has been fairly successful and well received. It’s a combination of blues and rock. It totally has a late 60’s vibe, so if you are into that sort of thing this is for you.

Lead singer Elin Larsson has a beautiful voice that will remind you a bit of Janis Joplin. Not only that, but I have taken to following her on Instagram and I most definitely envy her look. I adore her style. I seen several interviews with her and she seems to be a great positive influence for other females who pursue rock music as their passion.

Please check this album out. It has great music, great vibe and pretty sweet album art!
