The Bad Day Blues Band stir up a finger of God with Hurricane - a podcast by Richard and Tobin: Self confessed music addicts
from 2019-05-25T22:00
Firstly, turn up the volume. Secondly, strap yourself in because there's a Hurricane coming. The Bad Day Blues Band are our New Music this week with their latest track released within the last 24 hours. We've got the Press Release and a review from here at Record Box HQ. Hot blues rock being served freshly on the show! However, that's all to come, before then Tobin has the bookend with the excellent Honey Moon, despite them causing an argument on air about where they sit sound-wise in the decades gone by. Richard introduces Tobin to the tragic, fragile and often lost voice of Karen Dalton and plays a surprise track live in the studio to further showcase her brilliance. Furthermore, apropos of vocal clarity and brilliance, we play and discuss Suzanne Vega and the importance of her legacy on MP3 technology. In stark contrast to this we funk up the show with Richard's embarrassing dancing to The Meters. Get some exclusive content from us!

Honey Moon What did FTBOTRB think of Bad Day Blues Band? First of all I want to thank Adam from Bad Day Blues Band for sending in the pre-release of Hurricane. Right off the bat this tune is on its way to be a genuine stadium rocker - and probably right on time as the band is playing the Isle of Wight Festival this year. As we mentioned in the show this track has the raw aggression and wicked harp chops reminiscent of Dr Feelgood. It's easy to get harp-drunk with this song. The liquidity and ebb and flow of the harp licks is infectious. But there's much more to fall in love with here. For instance, half way through the whole song deconstructs giving the vocals some space to show some subtlety prior to the band coming back with a crashing return to blues/rock excellence as the lead guitar soars upward and delivers a searingly hot solo. It's easy to imagine from the delivery of this track how good Bad Day Blues Band are live. There's no doubt that when they climb on to the stage at IOW this year, they're gonna own it. With so much material in the can, we can expect great things from these boys.
