East London’s finest The Blams are back with their latest single “Throwing Rocks” and it’s another belter of a track.

Throwing Rocks, is influenced by singer and guitarist Sonny’s love of The Smashing Pumpkins, which gives the song a more positive outlook. The bass guitar and guitar riff is heavy,  maintaining the trademark Blams grunge  sound, which we first heard on first single Never Knew (check out our review here). The vocal delivery is unmistakably The Blams and is something that you can get lost in when listening to the track. 

Singer and guitarist, Sonny says “The song is ultimately about seeing the best in people, and being so infatuated by someone that you believe they can do anything, to the point of self-confessed naivity. A lot of people will correctly see the romantic side of this but that wasn’t exclusively what it was written about. Obviously there’s an element of love attached, but sometimes you even just make a new pal and think ‘wow, this mfer can do anything’. Truly believing in people can be such a raw experience, romantically or otherwise”.

Sadly this is last song that original drummer Connor Minihane drummed on. His energy and powerful drumming can be really heard on this track and his influence will long remain. He has been replaced in the hot-seat by Matt a highly experienced drummer. It will be exciting to see what he brings to the band in future releases! 

Throwing Rocks is another excellent song from the 3-piece and is set to be exceed the success of the debut release and leave fans (including this writer) wanting more! 

Throwing Rocks is set for release on Friday 30th July and can be pre-saved here.
