Blake
“In a world where pop music seems driven by dance routines and guest rappers, studio gizmos and auditory gimmicks, marketing
money and social media frenzy, Blake, in general, and Louder Than Sound, in particular, remind us that you only really need one thing to get noticed. Great songs. This is an album of really great songs.
Quite brilliant, in fact. The perfect balance between a familiar past and a bright new pop future.”
The Big Takeover
Blake was discovered under a pile of records in a Cheltenham bedsit in 2003. Signed to London’s Ecto Music label the following year,
Blake has since released 24 albums, the last five on the Subjangle label. Blake’s song ‘Vinyl Junkie’ appears in the soundtrack to the 2019 Brit crime film, ‘24 Hours to Live or Die’.

Described by Devizine magazine, “…Thieves progressed through a divine Bluegrass set….you’d imagine this four piece had done this all their life… well worth your attention.”
