After notching up a stackful of hits from their debut platinum album A Public Display Of Affection, The Blizzards are back with another power pop gem, 'Trust Me I'm A Doctor'.
Proving that they're immune to second album syndrome, the fivesome are set to dose up music afflicted fans with this first offering from their new LP The Domino Effect, due to be unleashed mid September.
Trust Me I'm A Doctor is a welcome injection of the band's trademark blend of punk, ska and pop, administered with an unnerving blow of energy so often absent in modern day pop records.
"The song outlines a group of guys' holiday tactics to indulge the opposite sex," explains frontman Bresy. "They may have a regular mundane job at home, but while on holiday their professional and social status becomes slightly 'elevated': suddenly they are doctors, sport stars or lawyers. "Fundamentally it's okay to invite them back to their apartments for sexual adventures because they are fine, upstanding pillars of society!"
Backed with B-side 'Dublin Town', it's typical of their new album, produced once again by Michael Beinhorn (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Marilyn Manson). Together, they've teased out the group's strengths – humour, harmonies and passion – and brought them into the foreground where they're impossible to ignore.
As the flagship single, it proves them to be the purveyors of radio-friendly pop that they naturally are, but with an added feel for their already legendary live shows – not an easy task for the current holders of the Meteor Award for Best Irish Live Act.
Happily, that's just what the doctor ordered.
The New Album “Domino Effect” will be released in the UK in Sep.
Hey, We're having a launch party upstairs in whelans for our debut EP "Dead Man's Dream" on friday night!! please join us! Best wishes The Whiskey Limbs:>
You know what... I was at AC/DC when you guys hit the stage. Everyone was bitching about how Thin Lizzy werent there and how you guys were gonna be eaten alive.
And then you belted into one song after another and won the crowd over.
I'm not your biggest fan although I do love Postcards From Heaven, but I just wanted to say fair fucks to you guys. It was cool to see you win over a somewhat hostile crowd, plus, your set was tight and flowing.
Well done and rock on!!
PS: Did you guys use Line 6 that day cause I'm a huge fan of there amps particularly the flextone?
We're playing a short set at the Balcony TV aftershow party in the Morrison Hotel, Dublin at 10pm. Admission is free and fun is inevitable.
Watch us rehearse here.
