The band all started in late 2005 when a group of friends got together for a practise. There were a few different mess ups, but the remaining lads worked hard to keep the band together.
After playing for a while and recording an EP in Newbury, the four freshly turned 18 year olds started to get their name out.
Since then its all started to happen with bigger gigs, bands and venues....
Blardy Blars will do there best to make anyone dance, because having an honest laugh is much better than kissing arse and putting on fake smiles...
-------------
"Blardy Blars are a little dirty band from Reading, and have something that REBUS would cut their hair off for! They dont like a girl called Mandy, and even though we love Barry Manilow, Rock n Roll Disco is a mashed up stroke of punk pop genuis"
"Im real glad they exist, because theyll probably fuck a few people off and kick the arses of the establishment...but we always need new kids wanting to Ruck"
Velocity Records
-----
"These young whippersnappers from Reading are causing a right riot - Arctic Monkeys-style tracks get bodies jittering on the dance floor, and there's more sweat flailing about than at WWF"
Our 'The Session' show number 27, was dedicated to the Blardy Blars, who, despite their name, certainly have something to say. They're scandalously young at 18 but ever so talented - already nabbing prime support slots such as the Maccabees & Jack Penate"
BBC
-----
"Blardy Blars are four sex punks-that are far too exciting for their own good. Deliciously scuzzy rabble rousing punk rock that slays every band in East London."
Blah Blah Magazine
-----
"Frantic indie-rave rockings with more Artic Monkeys vibes and a boxful of silly noises, a lotta fun it is in Blardy Blar Land."

THE NOYZE Lets get this straight The Noyze are a great,great band. A real band for real people . No nonsense. No crap. A proper band. A must see live. Four guys who know that the word 'song' is not a dirty word. All hail the noyze ..."like The Cure taking on The Twang and kicking the shit out of them. If you get the chance to see The Noyze live, do it, they'll take your breath away." - Blah Blah Magazine www.myspace.com/thenoyze
KICKS Same as above. Kicks are one of the best unsigned bands in the world. 2007 they were on the most sought after bands in the UK by the majors. The majors bottled it. Told them to go and record an album-then come back. Hilarous. That makes us want to kill the Wombats. Their first Club Velocity gig for nine months. You would be stupid to miss it. Managed by the same people who look after Klaxons and the Verve. Recording their debut album with the world class producer Youth. www.myspace.com/kicksmusic
DIAMOND LINES The most improved band in town. They now can swagger with the best of them. Also they have now have a song under four minutes. Diamond geezers indeed. www.myspace.com/diamondlinestheband
JOEY ULTRA Oh god are they still alive? Wasnt this a 5 minute art-IT wank fest? Apaprently not.At least the police can have a night off and not worry about the sex feind and lead singer of this experiment Binz. They strum-you cum? www.myspace.com/joeyultra
