Blowers by Blowers
FASTER AND LOUDER BLOG USA (Lord Rutledge)
one of the year's most essential punk rock long players.
LOUDER THAN WAR – UK (Ryan Walker)
A bestial blitzkrieg of proto-garage sonic-noise hostility
i-94 Bar – Australia (Patrick Emery)
There’s nothing nice and comforting about the cut, thrust and gut-stabbing fuck you of Blowers. And that’s just why it’s so vital.
Beat In My Bones - UK (Olivia Cellamare)
It’s rowdy, raw and filthy. Everything a great record should be.
Brian Foss, KEXP - USA
'Fuck, right now this is on my short list for best of 2021! '
A rough and raw shot of garage punk from down under, BLOWERS’ self-titled debut album features a three-pronged vocal attack delivering songs themed around giving zero fucks. The album comes out March 1st on 12” limited edition vinyl via Spooky Records (Australia) and Chaputa Records (Portugal).
From opener ‘Ripped’ through to tracks like ‘Waste of a Man’, ‘Eat It Up’ and ‘Too Old For This Shit’, it’s 15 tracks full to the brim with expletives, sick humour and fast guitars. Recorded by the band, then dumped onto an 80s Tascam 4-track, the album was mixed and mastered by Mikey Young.
From the sick minds of Kit Convict (Kit Convict & Thee Terrible Two/ The Kits/ The Spasms), Andrew Porter (The Bowers/ Cakefight/ Brat Farrar), Shannon Aswell (The Reprobettes/ Juliette Seizure & The Tremor-Dolls) and Pip McMullan (The Exotics/ Wrong Turn).
So far, they’ve shared dive bar stages with Sore Points, The Cavemen, Salad Boys,
Jackson Reid Briggs & The Heaters and Stiff Richards.
If you dig Wipers, The Reatards, Wet Ones and The Spits, then this one’s for you.
So damn fast, so damn raw, so damn rude, so damn good.

The third album by BLOWERS, BLOWMANIA, is a raw and ferocious blast of garage punk straight from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. With a four-pronged vocal assault and an unrestrained attitude, the band delivers pure intensity and irreverence at every turn. Inspired by The Reatards, The Spits, and Wipers, BLOWMANIA channels the untamed spirit of punk at its most chaotic and unapologetically loud.
