The Blinders at The Glee

The Blinders are a three-piece alternative group from Doncaster who are now based in Manchester. The band attempts to be in your face at all times, smelting loud and visceral political punk rock with enigmatic, psychedelic poetry and tones. Their diverse, unique combination of raw music creates the ‘Punkadelic’ sound which forces the trio to give everything they’ve got in their frenzied performances, leaving only blood-stained instruments behind.

With a wide range of musical influences from Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Dylan, The Fall, and John Cooper Clarke, The Blinders have created their own sound and have permeated it into their live performances through their now infamous gigs which are raucous, sweaty and passionate affairs. The Blinders have already picked up plays on BBC Introducing and their first national airplay on John Kennedy’s Exposure show on Radio X as well as Chris Hawkins’ BBC Radio 6 show. Hailed as ‘A Must See Band’ by BBC Introducing Sheffield, the buzz is out there. The Blinders can also now be found on 10,000 Sound Net Jukebox’s nationwide. The Blinders are: Thomas Haywood (Vox/Guitar), Charlie McGough (Bass), Matt Neale (Drums/ Percussion).
