The Blueskies
Ready Or Not

unsigned

WE SAY

Formed in late 2006 and based in Brighton, The Blueskies' blend of upbeat electro-driven indie-pop jumped out at us on first listen of this track. An eight track demo attracted the attention of Blast Artist Management (BAM) who are also responsible for Patrick Wolf, Brakes and others. This hints at a band with a knack for sharp songwriting and an ear for a catchy tune, so it's little wonder that label interest is building nicely. Catch them playing The Alternative Escape alongside The Great Escape gigs in Brighton later this month. JF The Great Escape gig: May 16, The Alternative Escape @ Po Na Na, BN1
