Exploding onto the UK Alternative Scene is Nottingham based outfit Blight Town.
The progressive post-hardcore band have today unleashed their infectious new
single ‘Swerve’ to the world. Continuing to stand tall by being true to themselves the
bands new single possesses an awe of acceptance by digging deep into the
constant flux of ups and downs within life.
Being the band’s heaviest and most heartfelt work to date ’Swerve' marks a new
approach to the band’s song writing, doubling down on the technical flourishes and
unusual shifts in rhythm presented in the debut EP ‘Blight Town’ but framing them
within a sweeter, catchier context.
Check out the official music video for ‘Swerve’ right below!
"Swerve is a reflection on how the difference between medicine and poison is often
in the dosage. It plays with the idea that to be truly happy and content, you
sometimes have to court the darkness a little. This single explores the idea that
depression is something to be wallowed in, to allow it to wash over you completely.
That you might feel the disparity all the more fiercely when you come out of the other
side.” – Vocalist, Jake Hough.
Alongside the new single Blight Town have announced that they will be making a
special festival appearance at this year’s UK Tech Fest on 30 th June. The band will
be performing alongside the likes of God Is An Astronaut, Hacktivist, Betraying
The Martyrs and many more. Tickets are available HERE.
Despite a global pandemic taking up the majority of the band's existence, Blight
Town have fought to make their mark on the live circuit, clawing their way up the
hierarchy of their local scenes with early appearances alongside Arkdown,
Selfworth, Reclaimer, Black Orchid Empire, and an incredible performance at
‘Techabilitation' in 2021.
