THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “The third album by Blowers, Blowmania, is a raw and ferocious blast of garage-punk straight from Naarm / Melbourne, Australia.
With a four-pronged vocal assault and an unrestrained attitude, the band deliver pure intensity and irreverence at every turn. Inspired by The Reatards, The Spits and Wipers, Blowmania channels the untamed spirit of punk at its most chaotic and unapologetically loud.
This wild ride sees Blowers returning to form and upping the ante, turning their blistering vocals and buzzsaw guitars up to maximum levels — and adding in synth for extra layers and urgency, with some truly warped production touches to top it all off.
It’s an all-out attack from opener Wasted On My Own to closing track Everybody In This Room Hates Me, with full-blown earworms and depraved humour about injury-prone fans (Tony’s In Hospital Again), drug love (Mushrooms On My Mind), anxiety (Nightmares), lifestyle choices (Cigs, Beer and Wine) and hate-fuelled duets (I Hate You All The Time). Blowmania delivers 11 sharp shots of unapologetic punk adrenaline, and is not for the faint-hearted. Enter at your own risk!
Blowmania follows up Blowers’ debut self-titled LP — released to acclaim and disgust back in 2021 — and their second album Blown Again in 2023 (both on Chaputa Records / Spooky Records). Blowmania was engineered and mixed by Julian Cue (Street Sweeper, Gut Health, Civic, Screensaver), and mastered by Mikey Young. The sleeve artwork was fully illustrated by Luiz Berger. Crank it up and let it rip!”
