Today we are celebrating Day 3 of 12 Days of Bands You Have to Know. I have a kick ass rock band for you from London; Whisky Blood. They describe themselves as playing, ‘STRAIGHT UP, NO BULLSHIT, ROCK N’ ROLL!” Believe me, when you take a listen, you will definitely agree with them. I love them. Whisky Blood is Jamie Sloane on Vocals, Guitar, Paul Kixx on Guitar, and Vincent Velazco on Drums. They are currently in the process of finding a permanent bassist.
These guys deliver an upgraded version of ’80s rock to life and are the complete package with their 80’s inspired looks, and spot on rock n’ roll. Jamie on vocals reminds me of a blend of Josh Todd from Buckcherry and Austin WInkler of Hinder. Their music brings me back to my firsts love; old school ’80s rock like Ratt, Skid Row, L.A. Guns, Firehouse, the list can go on and on. But what is great is that Whisky Blood have added their own style and in no way, imitate. You will be hooked with the solid guitar riffs, emotionally driven lyrics, amazing vocals, heavy drumming and pumping bass.
Check out their recently released video for one of my favorite songs, “Start It Up” here:
That song is so awesome. These guys truly belong on the Sunset Strip playing at the Whisky, The Viper Room or the Roxy! I hope they make it out here to the States soon so we can catch them live. They are working on writing their debut EP which is set for a 2014 release. We will keep you updated and see if we can bring you an interview with these bad ass rockers! For now, make sure to visit their social media sites to stay up to date on the latest Whisky Blood news.
