******** ABOUT BLIND SUMMIT ********
Hey peoples.. we couldn't think how to describe ourselves, so here's what the Scotsman had to say:
We... "trade in a funkier strain of rock, punctuated by technical fireworks galore: tight rolling drums, effect laden guitar workouts and even the odd tastefully clipped bass solo"
-Malcolm Jack
After a pretty busy 2007 so far, we're busy writing and recording new material before a volley of gigs starting with the Edinburgh Festival. On top of the new material, we're also considering a second run of our previous ep which has now simply run out but still seems to be in demand. It was on the basis of this recording that we were voted winners of Potential Energy 2006 set up by Project Scotland for unsigned Scottish artists. Here's what some of the judges said:
"Distinctive sound, especially the vocals…nice guitar lines running throughout…" - Michael MacLennan, The Herald
Clear winners" - Stuart Nisbet, Unique Events
"A chunk of something [people] can remember. Nice vocals and great drumming. Really got an idea of dynamics. Nice one!"- Mark Robertson, Music Editor, The List
