Infamous for their charismatic performances, the rock act Blues Pills had a fast journey of success. They went straight from dirty, crowded bars to playing at some of Europe’s biggest festivals such as Download, Rock am Ring, Hurricane, Southside, Hellfest and Wacken. Their self-titled debut album went straight into the European charts and hit #4 in Germany and their second album Lady in Gold landed a #1. The 3rd self produced album Holy Moly! followed the success of the two previous records.
Now they’re ready to push the bar even further with their 4th studio release, Birthday, as singer Elin explains, the band’s time in the studio saw the birth of more than just a record.
“During the recordings of the album I discovered I was pregnant,” she says. I wanted to continue with my life even though I’m bringing a kid into the world. It should be natural to be both a mother and an artist. It’s not common for rock bands to have a female vocalist in the first place, but pregnant? I felt more powerful because I had two hearts and two of everything.”
The album is produced by Grammy nominated songwriter and producer Freddy Alexander who’s worked with artists like The Chainsmokers and the Veronicas, there’s an energy and live-feel to the new songs that bespeaks a confidence in their ability to craft new compelling sounds without tampering with the explosive formula that got them their start – a sound that’s as eclectic as it is heavy as it is fun.
