Hailing from Perth in Scotland, The Fightblues are a five-piece band and have established their sound as 'a fusion of raw guitars and compelling riffs with driving bass. This is complemented with hard beats, distinctive vocals and electronic effects'.Band/artist history
We formed five years ago, whilst still at school. Five years, two name changes and a few demos later The Fightblues are fast becoming a locally established outfit
The band back up their sound with a superb live show. Local gigs have drawn in large crowds and led to support slots with established artists such as Medium 21, Easyworld and Adom.
The summer of 2003 saw the band embark on a mini tour across Scotland promoting 'The Dirty Angel E.P' demo. Playing across the country and coming away with rave reviews.
The promotion of the E.P led to the band being invited to meet with a London based Management Company. The meeting was successful and future involvement is likely.
Recently an independent record label also contacted the band. Their track 'The Gas Light' is to appear on a compilation album featuring some of the country's best unsigned bands.Have you performed in front of an audience?We constantly tour across Scotland and have dates organised in England too.
