"BLACKPOOL SAVED MY LIFE! I was just about to do it. I had my head in a noose and a shotgun with one end of a string tied to the trigger and another to the door knob, and a transistor radio hanging by a thread over a puddle of water underneath my chair, and the oven was on high and the pilot light was out and then I heard Blackpool and it really cheered me up! Good work guys!"~Spooney Sam
"...Melody Bleak is the love child of Exene Cervenka and Robert Smith, with Siouxie Sioux and Lydia Lunch duking it out for a shot at the Evil Fairy Queen role..."~Kevin Filan, StarVox
"...singer Melody Bleak's enticing strong vocals pull out her emotional feelings... very intense, suicidal and aggressive with beauty..." ~Donovan Tate, deathrock.com
".....Blackpool's debut album Suspend Belief is at once a familiar nostalgia and a welcomed strangeness. We are dragged thru halls of quiet anguish and empty feelings & forced to gaze into the tragic angst of our existence. Layers of guitars, bass & keyboards vie to be the most heart wrenching melody...." ..
