BLOWERS serve up another 14 slices of raw, lo-fi garage punk with their second LP, ‘Blown Again’. To celebrate it's release, they're throwing an album launch party at The Curtin on Saturday 29th July, with special guests Rot TV and Billiam And The Split Bills. This'll also be Blowers' first show back from their European tour.
'Blown Again' is out all over the place from April 14, 2023 on vinyl, tape & digital via Chaputa Records (worldwide) & Spooky Records (Australia).
Capitalising on their triple vocal attacks, blistering guitars and fast-paced tunes, ‘Blown Again’ is a tongue-in-cheek earworm of a ride laced with sick humour and shit-stirs. The album is chock full of “fuck you” themes, with tracks like ‘Shut The Fuck Up’, ‘Wipe My Ass’, ‘Slice’n’Dice’ and ‘Bad 4 U’ that jump off the record and grab you by the throat.
Take a dive into the warped minds of Kit Convict (vox, guitar), Andrew Porter (vox, guitar), Shannon Aswell (vox, drums) and Pip McMullan (bass), who are often found in the dive bars and shit-holes of Melbourne, Australia.
The album was recorded in a shared warehouse space on a cold and blurred weekend, engineered & mixed by Loki Lockwood, and mastered by Mikey Young.
‘Blown Again’ is Blowers’ second LP, which follows up from their debut self-titled LP released to acclaim & disgust back in 2021 (Chaputa Records/ Spooky Records).
Blowers: “So damn fast, so damn raw, so damn rude, so damn good.” Blowers’ live shows are a blast of raw punk power.
So far, they’ve shared dive bar stages with Black Lips, Cosmic Psychos, The Schizophonics, The Cavemen, Six Ft Hick, Hard-Ons, Sore Points, Mean Jeans, No Fun At All, Grindhouse, Private Function, and Stiff Richards, and jumped on festivals incl. Munster Raving Loony Party, Do The Pop, Down South and River Rocks.
