EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: BLOODLIGHTS COMMAND THAT YOU “GIMME BLOOD”

 Wednesday, June 1st, 2011 at 1:00pm by

One of my favorite bands, Bloodlights, has a still-untitled album coming out this fall. Now this is good news,because, well, I love them. I’ve had the opportunity to hear a few of the bands newer songs and I’m happy to say it’s more of the punk-influenced, sleazy rock n’ roll fun that they’re fast becoming known for.

Fronted and founded by ex-Gluecifer guitarist Captain Poon, the Norwegian foursome have been around since 2006. Though their music has slowly started trickling over to the States, they’re a fairly well known act in Europe, and this latest offering will mark their third album. Each record has steadily become more metal and boogie-rock influenced, and while they still retain their signature raw punk feel, I think they’ve really got a solid hold on their sound with this third release.

“Gimme Blood” is a track off the new record, and my pick for one of their best. Enjoy!

    The guy all the way in the back is wearing a girls pink-ish tank top…

    This is awful beyond words

    If my vocabulary included a derogatory term for homosexuals that begins with the letter ‘f’ I would use such a word as an adjective to describe this band’s music and clothing.

    This started off good with a nice build to the cool main riff. Too bad it ended up sounding too tame and the singer sounds lethargic. The hook in the chorus was also quite bad.

    First of all, what does their appearance have to do with the music?
    Furthermore, if you want to criticise (the music), why not use your brain and give constructive criticism? Really guys, slagging them off for their outfits is probably the lamest thing ever.
    Plus, what they are wearing is not “homosexual” it just has a touch of glam – I wonder if you call T.Rex homosexual as well.

    • Colin

      Very weak lyrics, basic overrused riffs, boring. Glam metal that has been done since the 80s, totally recycled everything.

        Hi Colin,
        I’m not saying, that I particularly like this song. However, „has been done since the 80’s“ for me seems to apply to everybody at this point, and you sound like you’ve come across some rock, which hasn‘t been. Will you give me some names? I’d really like to hear that.
