Bio
Idiosyncratic, a bit acoustic, a bit electric, Blake’s music is distilled from a wealth of influences. Described by one reviewer as "fruit salad for the soul", Blake's sound contains an exotic mix of flavours as he combines elements of sweet jangly pop, sweaty Britrock, glam, electronica, folk and soul, and "wraps your ears into a toasty duvet of good vibes."

The Cat 1251AM, University of Chester: "Catchy tracks"
“'She's Not All That' takes you back to the mid sixties with its blend of catchy guitar hooks, sing a long choruses and tight harmonies.” Rough Trade Shops

“The Monkees whip up some cream and melt some chocolate whilst the remnant Beatles ponder the cosmic comebacks of wife beating and swapping juices with Eric Clapton…meanwhile The Kinks invent punk rock." Live Review, The Hope & Anchor, London
UCA, University of Paisley: "'Girls' number 1 in the student radio chart"
“fruit salad for the soul..." Pete Langford
"I've just been to your CD Baby page and I'm absolutely floored! This is great pop-rock, well-written, bowing to the past, but very much here in the present. I'm knocked out by all three songs on offer: the rocking 'A Better Way,’ the Who-meets-garage rocker 'She's Not All That,’ and the very sixties mid-tempo pop song 'Let It Go,’ with its entrancing melody and hooky chorus (also, very cool guitars). The whole package rocks with confidence: great vocals and songs, and the playing chops to make it all happen. A full length is on the way? I hope it comes soon...these songs left me wanting more. You guys are very talented!"
