Product Description

CD Description

Debut album from Wakefield blues-rock four-piece who have been described as "the sound of a teenage Led Zeppelin ripping through 'Rock 'n' Roll' in their parents' garage". A heavy, ultra-raw blast of blues-rock infused with the spirit of garage punk, this throwback to the 70s was produced by Richard Formby (Spacemen 3) and features the singles 'Change My Mind' and 'The Stupid Ones' as well as 'Ellie Meadows' from their 'Magic Road' EP.

4.0 out of 5 stars Debut of many bands, 19 May 2004
By M. Speller "mattwareherts" (Herts, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Blueskins have seemed to sneaked up upon us this year. Releasing their Magic Road EP late last year and now following it up with the full debut album 'Word Of Mouth', I find myself writing a review for a band I had hardly heard of. From the start of the album the listener's attention is grabbed by both hands and shaken until the end of the eleventh song.

I think any album that stands out must have an overriding quality that compels the listener to listen again and again, and more importantly differentiate the band from the mass of bands jumping on the wagon. The Blueskins try and achieve this by effectively morphing their style of music through out the album. At the start they sound like a bluesy Rock'n'Roll band with influences being drawn from Rolling Stones and then mixed with the up tempo march of a band like Terrorvision. Through out the album there is a large dose of the Libertines. And then the morph begins, all of the sudden by Love Boat we are dealing with The Coral and The Seahorses with the searing guitar solos in songs like Girl.

A fairly large range has been covered by the Blueskins, and dare I say it, a large enough range to guarantee they capture the largest listening audience possible. Sometimes it can seem like it is a desperate attempt to find a fan base, but in this case I think it is a clever marketing ploy. A new band needs a grounding and to produce an album that reflects the current popularity of bands like the Coral and Jet is a means to become a Face in the crowd.

Standout tracks are Bad Day, Girl, Love Boat and Magpie Blues.

There is a large part of originality with the album, I didn't feel ripped off as I did with the Cribs last year. I hope to see a lot more of these guys and am looking forward to seeing them live some point soon.

*** Like The Coral, The Seahorses, The Rolling Stones, Jet ***

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking Debut from a promising band, 4 Jun 2004
Do yourself an almighty favour and get this album pronto, it's quite simply one of the best I've heard so far this year. Mixing elements of blues and 70's style rock swagger, it's extremely catchy from start to finish. Great tunes, loud guitars,slide playing,psychedelic keyboard fadeouts, it's got the lot and you'll keep going back to it again and again. With so many hotly tipped British bands emerging, it's becoming increasingly more difficult knowing whose stuff to take a chance on. I took a chance on plumping for this album, and it's paid off big time.All I can add is that I'm glad I've found this, and if you take the chance you certainly won't regret it. The Blueskins rock!!

4.0 out of 5 stars bluesy rock, 27 Jan 2006
How this band aren't bigger is just beyond me.

I found out about them when they were supporting one of my fave bands (22-20s). They have two new memebers now, I recently went to see them in Leeds, they were excellent.

The album - It's Bluesy, it's sludgey, it's got a great vocalist, and there's some awesome songs on it. and just how I like albums, no longer than 45 mins - leaves you wanting more.

highlists for me "girl" "Ellie meadows", "change my mind" and "Go"

This is a fine album, well worth a look. If you like 22-20s, The Black Keys, you'll love this

Best lyric, "i'm only here for lifetime"
