Strawberry Blondes

Keeping it strictly roots, punk n roll mob kings, Strawberry Blondes like their
rock n roll super charged. Their songs are short, sharp, shocks of highly
melodic punk rock bile, based on the rudiments thrown down by the classic first
Clash album, or against the grain conviction of the early Manics or the
zeitgeist defining lyrical smarts of their beloved Rancid and Goldblade.
The Strawberry Blondes, slash n burn two minute blasts of guitar driven punk
rock n roll, their mini anthems-should-be-Top-30 missives. This is sheer pop
perfection. The heartfelt vocals, the amphetamine rush of guitars, struck with a
passion and fired with the burning frustration of living on the wrong side of nu
millennium boom time Britain. Turning their cynicism and world-weariness into
highly charged angry pop is what the Strawberry Blondes excel at. Front man
Mickie Stabbs is so wild eyed in his conviction that rock n roll will change the
world that he has already burned out several line ups of the band, in his pain
staking search for perfection. Not many can keep up with his vision.
Strawberry Blondes are the new face of punk rock in the U.K and have recently
won over a ton of new friends gigging with the likes of Rancid, The Unseen and
The Aggrolites they even got the legendary Don Letts to remix one of their
song. More Authentic than a fistful of incendiary rock n roll albums, the
Strawberry Blondes will not go down without a fight. Few bands in Britain have
their melodic power, their insane conviction and their confrontational guitar
slashing passion.
They have been threatening to burn down the suburbs since 2003, maybe the time
is right for their inspirational rock n roll rush . . JOHN ROBB
