Don Blake - A Comfortable Lie

Don Blake are a pop punk band from Bolton and are possibly one of the best kept secrets in the UK punk scene. They play fast fun pop punk filled with great harmonies. If you’re a fan of bands such as The Copyrights, The Dopamines  or Teenage Bottlerocket (and who isn’t!?) then Don Blake are a band you will love.

Their latest offering is a a six track EP named Anti-Charisma Wholesale which was released back in June. I am going with A Comfortable Lie which starts quite quietly before building towards the opening verse. This is a more traditional pop punk song. The verse is full of melody that hooks you in quickly and when they switch to a more punchy style for the chorus you can’t help but want to sing along. The chorus has this thing about it that has you wanting to listen intently and sing every word.

The EP is great and well worth your time! Hopefully I'll get to see them in the not too distant future!
