Newcastle indie-punks Fast Blood release their long-awaited debut album ‘Sunny Blunts’ on Friday, 3rd May 2024. “Sunny Blunts” is hefty, soulful, complex yet hook-laden, abrasive, and thoughtful. It is by far their most ambitious and greatest achievement to date – a richly diverse collection of songs, all distinctive, commanding, and impactful in their own way. FAST BLOOD have laid down a solid statement with this release, and they demand your attention. It is going to rip your fucking eyeballs out of your head.
In an onslaught of neck-breaking tempos and blinding passion, Fast Blood lives up to its name of “Salvation.” Their blistering musicianship burst out of the speakers with the grace of a captive bird being released back into the wild. Their refreshing take on hardcore mixes in pop tendencies for an irresistible earworm of a single. Fast Blood pens moving poetry but deliver it like bad news. Their animated melodies collide to create pure punk bliss while touching on so many corners of the storied genre, allowing the band to land on a sound they can call their own. “Salvation” features dense textures cut through by an otherworldly vocal performance. Fast Blood is making the type of punk everyone can get behind.
