Artists We Love: Blondfire

Unfair as it may be, more often than not opening acts are what music fans tolerate until the artist(s) they really want to see take the stage. Twisted logic, to be sure, as all bands were openers at some point, but a reality of live concert going nevertheless. There are those times, however, when you witness a band that captures your attention. You can’t quite pinpoint what it is about them, but you know you like it. This happened when we saw Blondfire over the summer at a Billboard event. Their song Where the Kids sounded strangely familiar, as did Waves. Where the Kids, it turns out, was featured in a Honda advert. Waves apparently just sounds familiar, but in the best kind of way; like one of those songs you hear for the first time and it just feels like your kind of song.
Blondfire is a bit like Metric and Fleetwood Mac mixed with the style of vocalist/guitarist Erica Driscoll and bandmate/music director/brother Bruce Driscoll. Guitarist Steve Stout has been a key figure in the band’s live show, as has drummer Kiel Feher, who also played on the band’s album Young at Heart, which will be released…TODAY! That’s right, in our most perfectly timed Artists We Love to date, Blondfire’s latest album drops today, so be sure to check it out!
