BLANKS
TORONTO, ON
BIO
Is ‘Rock’ music dead? Maybe. Everything’s dead these days: punk, authenticity, the functioning of our socioeconomic system. BLANKS doesn’t pay much attention. They’re too busy crafting grab-you-by-the-scruff songs featuring explosive choruses, melodic bass grooves, blistering drums, and throbbing keyboards to care. Drawing influence from post-punk, new wave, and Britpop, and combining the sounds of Blur, The Stranglers, and Parquet Courts, BLANKS is out to make music to dance to at the end
of the world.
Founded in Toronto in 2017 by three friends jamming in a basement, BLANKS has morphed into a four-piece composed mostly of seasoned underground musicians with years of experience in song writing and performance. They released the single If You Fall in 2019, and on July 3rd, 2020 released their new single, Looking For off their upcoming EP Beyond These Walls
