Blues Pills - "Proud Woman" (video)
Ο τρίτος "ολοκληρωμένος" στουντιακός δίσκος των Blues Pills είναι προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Holy Moly!" κι έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει τον πρώτο καλοκαιρινό μήνα. Το έδαφος προετοιμάζει το single "Proud Woman" που κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών με αφορμή την παγκόσμια ημέρα της γυναίκας (8 Μαρτίου)...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Proud Woman was the most spontaneous song we wrote on the album. But ended up being one of the most important ones. It really was one of those songs where we just jammed and the music flowed out through us and it was done just in one hour.
About the lyrics ”I’m a Proud Woman” the vocalist of Blues Pills, Elin Larsson, says: - I’m a proud woman came out from my inner self and the first thing I thought was: someone must have written this before. And if not, why? Hey! It’s about damn time then!
To be a woman or non-binary in the music industry seems to be more about the gender then the music sometimes. As a woman you’re being belittled, threatened, scrutinized, made fun of, targeted and harassed in a way that the men in the industry isn’t.
And even so there is so many women in the industry who made and are making their mark just as mighty as the men, and they do that despite all of the hardships they get for simply being a woman and that makes their triumphs even greater.
With Proud Woman we wanna give the fierce women and grrrls of the world a power anthem to turn on whenever they wanna feel empowered. Or just have fun. A song to everyone who stands behind the most obvious things of all. Equality and unity. Whoever you are, wherever you come from. Women will always be a driving force of change. And a change is gonna come.

I’m a proud woman
And I’m not the only one»
Bio: «The history of BLUES PILLS can seem simple. The rock quartet formed in the Midwest in late 2011 by the bands songwriters Zack Anderson and Elin Larsson went straight from playing at dirty, crowded bars to play at some of the biggest festivals such as Download, Rock am Ring and Wacken Open Air.
A true success story. Or? Not really. Under the layers of heavy psychedelic blues rock and Elin Larsson’s soulful and powerful voice, the core of Blues Pills has always been the restless for change. Change in the human mind and the musical influences the embraced themselves with, from blackened soul to the trippy rides through 60s garage rock music and the devils blues.
During their break Blues Pills has been through some kind of reincarnation. A reincarnation that lead to a new self produced and recorded album summer 2020 mixed by Grammy Award winning Andrew Scheps (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy Pop, Adele, Black Sabbath, Rival Sons, Hozier et al). If you were blazed by heaviness of their first self titled album, and tripped to the psychedelic soul of Lady In Gold (#1 Germany) you won’t be immune to the effects of this third dose of pills.
Empowered by the definition of a cool bass player Kristoffer Schanders, their banana loving drummer André Kvarnström, Elin Larssons haunting voice and Zack Anderson now on lead guitar the band has gone back to their roots. Back to the raw power of rock’n’roll and blues with pinch of soul.»
