THE PETER BLOOM BAND'S DEBUT CD, 'RANDOM THOUGHTS (FROM A PARALYZED MIND)', IS NOW AVAILABLE HERE!!!
5 stars out of 5. Peter Bloom is a singular talent. His Americana infused pop-rock should bring him much success in a perfect world. Peter Bloom is going places. You’ll want to be along for the ride. Wildy’s World.Com - Editor's Review
For (people) keen to try Canadian pop but put off by all the oddball Montreal indie acts, the answer may come in the shape of Peter Bloom. Earnest as a Toronto winter day is short, Bloom makes sweeping piano pop redolent of late Beatles ballads or Chris Martin at his most thoughtful. Download.Com - Editor's Review
This is simply gorgeous piano/orchestral-based pop, carried to the next level by Bloom’s insightful lyrics and full-bodied melodic sensibilities. Jason Warburg - The Daily Vault
(Bloom's) voice belts out—teeming with beauty, heart, and skill. He channels UK singers like Bono, Tom Chaplin, Freddy Mercury, and Paddy Casey, while still staying true to his Canadian self. So play “Random Thoughts” while on a road trip—it’s perfect for getting lost in the music and the drive. Anney E. J. Ryan- Skope Magazine
An aching heart bleeds out with sincerity. Bloom has an earnest touch that will win friends. Glasswerk.co.uk
This is one of the more accomplished debuts I've heard...Bloom and his band put across his well-constructed, catchy melodies and emotionally charged lyrics with easygoing confidence...Bloom's high, liquid tenor is very appealing - boyish yet with depth of feeling. Eric Olsen - Blog Critics Magazine
Random Thoughts is an album that you can't help singing along to. Even though the melodies and lyrics are emotionally charged, the whole package will put a spring in your step. Joe Hartlaub - Music-Reviewer.Com
“Random Thoughts (From A Paralyzed Mind)” may be the band’s first full length, but the maturity exhibited will easily fool individuals into thinking that this is their fourth or fifth album. Neufutur.Com
Holy s--t... is all I can say man!! This music is beautiful.... I'm speechless and touched man... This is real music here! This is beautiful!! Let It Go is my new favourite song! Justin Nozuka - Singer/Songwriter

Always a pleasure my friend. Great news that you teamed up with the 2 Adams for your gigs. Wish you and the band all the best of adventures. Thank you for the note of the videos. I am so fortunate to be working with John Jamieson a true friend of life.
Hey Peter Bloom Band, Hope your having a great week :) Loving what you do :) I have a bunch of new tunes on my profile that I would love to share with the community. Let me know what you think :)
Hi Peter! I added 3 of your songs to my music player. I'm enjoying the real strings in "Haven't Hit The Floor Yet"! I wish Aaron would put real strings in some of his music. I think it would go very well in "Something Like Heaven".
