Biography

Bluphoria is a new alternative rock band with blues rock and psychedelic rock influences. Formed in 2019, the band hails from the west coast and is fronted by Reign LaFreniere, 22 (lead vocals, lead guitar) along with Dakota Landrum, 19 (rhythm guitar, background vocals) Rex Wolf, 21 (bass, background vocals) and Dani Janae, 21 (drums, background vocals). The band recently relocated to Nashville proud to be releasing their EDGEOUT Records/Ume/UMG debut album which is already garnering critical praise with Backward Noise proclaiming, "For lovers of The Killers, Cage The Elephant and Catfish and the Bottleman, Bluphoria should be the next band on your new music radar" and Modern Luxury saying, "Rock n’ roll has gone through many iterations over the past few decades, and Bluphoria is taking this back to the roots." About the new album, frontman Reign LaFreniere says, “It’s kind of crazy to say but most of the songs we wrote in the last three years were written during the pandemic, a lot of the songs on this album kind of reflect that feeling as well. We wanted to make a project where the whole crux of it was to capture a peaceful melancholy. Most of our songs are upbeat and driven by major chords but at the same time the lyrics tell a sadder story which was very reflective of our experiences during covid - trying to make the best out of a bad situation."
