Chewier: Blue Origin
29th July, 2007 by Kevin
From blues to blues-based rock, another fantastic Stokey band to fire your imagination. Blue Origin are a 4 piece who play an exciting brand of spiky, yet melodic, classic rock. However, there are also elements of indie, blues and metal all thrown in for good measure, so they sound very much like a strange mix of AC/DC, Led Zep and some un-nameable blues artist. With searing, Plant/Johnson-esque vocals layered over the top and a pounding heavy metal drum beat beneath, “Dead End Night” has got to be one of their best songs. The band are currently playing a number of gigs in Stoke and, on the 17th August 2007, will be heading up to Liverpool for their first gig at the famous Cavern Club (yes the same club that broke the Beatles), hopefully the first of many.

absolutejy spot on review, the stage presence is sound but no more so than when they have a good responsive crowd and then they excell themselves. and the versions of jets do you wanna be my girl and billy idols rebel yell are far better than the originals with an excitement and freshness that really gets the blood going. this is one band that gets better and better, jusy listen to their remake of sweet nightmares. their original song was ok but the renewed version is outstanding. cheers, Rocks
