Blossoms

Blossoms, an English quintet formed in Stockport, quickly rose to prominence in the British music scene in the 2010s with their catchy blend of Brit-pop and indie rock. Their debut album in 2016, featuring hit single "Charlemagne," solidified their success, leading to continued chart-topping albums like 2018's Cool Like You and 2020's Foolish Loving Spaces. The band's sound, often compared to a mix of the Doors and Arctic Monkeys, combines classic pop songwriting with moody organ atmospherics and youthful energy, captivating audiences and selling out shows across the U.K.

Led by Tom Ogden and Joe Donovan, Blossoms released EPs like Blown Rose and Charlemagne in 2015 before their self-titled debut album topped charts in 2016. Their sophomore effort, Cool Like You, further showcased their pop sensibilities, leading to more sold-out shows and critical acclaim. The band's evolution continued with 2020's Foolish Loving Spaces, exploring themes of love and attachment with inspiration from Talking Heads and U2. Their latest album, 2022's Ribbon Around the Bomb, saw a return to their early-'60s-inspired sound, marking their continued success in the British music scene.
