Our Take
Our Take
Ah, the Long Blondes. A band that burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s with their infectious blend of indie pop, post-punk vibes, and killer dancefloor hooks. And now, fifteen years later, we're treated to a special anniversary edition of their debut album, "Someone To Drive You Home."
From the moment the opening guitar riff of "Lust in the Movies" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Frontwoman Kate Jackson's sultry vocals are front and centre, weaving tales of lust, heartbreak, and everything in between. The band's signature sound is a mix of angular guitars, driving basslines, and retro synths that harken back to the glory days of the 80s.
Tracks like "Weekend Without Make Up" and "Giddy Stratospheres" are perfect examples of the band's knack for crafting infectious pop gems with a dark twist. The lyrics are witty and cutting, painting a vivid picture of life in the big city.
But it's not all fun and games. Songs like "Separated By Motorways" and "You Could Have Both" delve into the darker side of relationships, with Jackson's vocals dripping with longing and regret.
Overall, the Long Blondes' "Someone To Drive You Home" is a timeless classic that still sounds fresh and exciting fifteen years on. So buckle up, press play, and let these indie darlings take you on a wild ride through the neon-lit streets of Sheffield. Cheers to another fifteen years of dancing, dreaming, and driving.

About the artist
The Long Blondes
The Long Blondes emerged from the shadows of Sheffield in the mid-2000s like a group of mischievous indie pop sirens, armed with razor-sharp wit and killer hooks. Led by the enigmatic frontwoman Kate Jackson, their unique blend of post-punk swagger and retro cool captured the hearts of music critics and fans alike. With a sound that harked back to the glory days of new wave and punk, the Long Blondes delivered deliciously dark lyrics and infectious melodies that had audiences hooked from the first note. Tracks like "Once and Never Again" and "Giddy Stratospheres" were instant classics, showcasing the band's knack for crafting smart, sassy pop anthems. But it wasn't just their music that set the Long Blondes apart – it was their distinctive style and attitude that truly made them stand out from the crowd. With their vintage dresses, tattered leather jackets, and impossibly cool aesthetic, they were the embodiment of everything that was cool about being in a British indie band. Sadly, the Long Blondes' time in the spotlight was cut short by tragedy, with the band splitting in 2008 after the untimely death of their guitarist Dorian Cox. But their legacy lives on, with their music continuing to inspire a new generation of artists and fans alike. So here's to the Long Blondes – may they forever be remembered as the darlings of the indie pop scene, with a legacy that shines as brightly as their namesake hair.
