Formed of Dan Goldberg, Krys Bascombe and George Phillips, London emo, power pop rock group Sad Blood have announced new tour dates. Drawing influence from Into It. Over It., Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral and Algernon Cadwallader, they first entered the studio in 2015 where they record their debut EP, Ultimate Worrier.
The band started when George Philips (After failed attempts at careers in both professional wrestling and standup comedy, due to a lack of any discernible athletic or comedic ability) decided turn his hand to songwriting. Picking up a guitar and started writing songs about his failures in life and love focusing mostly his failed imaginary relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, he soon realised that he needed to start up a band. After attempting many times recruiting drummer Daniel Goldberg and bassist Krys Bascombe, approximately 22 and half times, Sad Blood was born.
A lengthy fictional court battle with Ms. Swift over their ill advised Bad Blood based band name, delayed some time, but the boys soon returned to the studio to record their sophomore effort and christened it Legion of Gloom. It may be less than 15 minutes long, but it doesn’t fall short of leaving you comfortably satisfied. With its real laid back attitude drenched in a thick layer of puns and innuendo. Legion of Gloom is your perfect bummed out record to sit in the sun and hang out to.
