The pulse of this band is racing, get in the know quick because everybody's talking about it.
Finally BlackBud are getting the recognition they deserve after the Battle of The Bands at Glastonbury, 'Heartbeat' being the Zane Lowe single of the week on Radio one should prove that this band, through their uncompromising devotion and determination are on the right tracks. It's a game of word of mouth and people are certainly talking about BlackBud.
This EP showcases the said single as well as the tracks 'Steal Away' which is Nick Drake rocking with Radiohead-like and 'Corner Of The World,' that gets the inevitable Jeff Buckley comparison. 'Heartbeat' itself is good as a single, palpable and poppy, but it doesn't seem to possess the quality of earlier tracks such as 'Lost In Time' and 'Forever.'
Still, here's hoping that this one launches the band into the stratospheres of widespread adoration, they've got a sound with a lot going for it and an integrity that is deserving of being congratulated on a mass level. If you don't know them, check out this EP, because you should. BlackBud will become a household name in no time...
