Biography

Fast Blood return after almost two years navigating the COVID-19 pandemic with their new single and music video ‘Pulling Teeth’: A song about dealing with the pressure of helping those with self-destructive tendencies at the expense of your own health. It is rapid and intense. It is urgent. It is their greatest achievement as a band so far. Fast Blood burst onto the Newcastle scene in 2020 with the release of their exciting and remarkably hyped debut self-titled EP. Cruel Nature Records released the cassette variant of the release which sold out in less than a day. Bringing their powerful yet melodic, abrasive yet introspective indie-punk style, the band quickly began making waves in the UK and beyond sharing stages with the likes of Mannequin Pussy, Jeffrey Lewis and Martha. Fast Blood is frequently compared to artists such as: Descendents, Fucked Up, Cloud Nothings, Hot Snakes and Pretty Girls Make Graves. The band’s sound comprises energetic punk rock with a nod to 90’s midwestern indie/emo, hardcore and garage punk. Abi’s vocals are strong, uplifting, and full of hooks; as she bellows honest, self-examining lyrics in her proud North-East accent. Fast Blood stride into 2022 with a fresh hunger and determination. With recruitment of new drummer Dave Allen (Voorhees, Natterers) and their debut album in the works, Fast Blood has a fresh outlook and a desire to take the band as far as they possibly can and be a force to be reckoned with. fast.blood@outlook.com
