What a lovely review Thanks Mike!!
Sounding like the more mature sounding Noel Gallagher sung Oasis mixed with the US alt-rock of Pearl Jam or Creed, Blameless hit a musical vein that blends highly melodic rock with a windswept acoustic earnestness. CAN'T YOU SEE stems from simple acoustic chord progressions, peppered with the occasional spidery guitar line and stop/start drum patterns. With a vocal style that throws up the aforementioned Noel Gallagher comparison immediately, these songs are sung in a soulful, heartfelt way that also points towards artists like Eddie Vedder and Dave Matthews.
With excursions into jazz territory, YOU AND ME, opens up the bands sound to more than your typical indie-rock strum along. Building to what sounds like a free form jazz-blues jam, this is a song that revels in its own sense of fun and adventure. The similarly hard to pin down sound that Blameless make on, MORTE, shows that they are a band not afraid to take their material in whatever musical directions they see fit. Part sixties garage pop song, part acoustic jazz oddesey and part blues jam, MORTE, also finds time to dazzle with its crisp melodies and sudden stylistic shifts - like The Beatles jamming with The Kinks via The Zutons and Frank Zappa.
That YOUR GONE sounds instantly recognisable and classic from its opening guitar chords is a sure sign of extremely good things. Despite that nagging feeling that this must be a cover version of some lost classic, the dawning that this is just simply a great song can't help but put a smile on your face. INDEPENDANCE DAY, while not hitting some of the highs of the rest of the material here, is still the kind of song lesser bands would kill for.
With a leaning towards folk-rock and more softly melodic vocals, Blameless sound as comfortable cranking out this kind of song as they do breathing.
Blameless write songs that hark back to the grunge explosion of the mid nineties, songs that fit that soulful acoustic singer/songwriter build, full of yearning melodies and the ability to explode into bursts of incendiary guitar bliss at any second. With songs of the standard of YOUR GONE and MORTE behind them, Blameless sound truly unstoppable and while this form of acoustic mid tempo rock is probably a style of music that's never going to fit into what's fashionable and trendy, these are nevertheless songs that sound instantly classic and timeless.

Recording History up to Jan 2006
My first ever recording was done in the loft at my parents house in Boston back
in 1995 on a £50 stereo with (only by chance) a mic input.A cheap £4.99 mic from
some TV shop and I was sorted.
The first song recorded was 'Losers game' which was then back in its day one of
my most played songs (chords were from Bob Marley's,'Waiting in vain') This was
recording on one track which as you can imagine the quality was quit poor.
So I invested in my first Multi-tracker,...Tascam 424 Port-studio...£120 and
really pushing the boat out I got a second hand SM58 for £70.
The very first song recorded was 'Watch the day go by' this for me was a major
breakthrough in recording I could not believe how clear the sound was plus
using 4 tracks it opened up a gateway of creativity.After 'Kosavo' and 'I know
you know' we soon started to use the 424 for almost every session.
The only draw back being,in my obsessive compulsive state and having a great
melody/hook,I use to just grab the first tape to hand and record over what was
on it And as I remember there was some damned fine tunes lost.....I hadn't
realized labels had a purpose..
My confidence grew and the feed back I was getting was so positive,that in 2000
I pushed the boat out and got a Tascam 788 and CDR at the time This was cutting
edge and cost to my Wife's amusement £900.Plus Mics SM58's,leads, Amp Samson
100watt, Absolute twos speakers, bumping the price up to £1400.
The deal struck with my wife was £ for £ .So she got the a loft conversion she
had been begging me for!
After some weeks of agonizing reading of the Manual I finally got to with the
recording of Decapo's and UPR's first CD 'Ladybird' with the other tracks being
'Midnight caller' and 'Wonderful day'.Selling over 300 copies.I was suitably
impressed with the 788.
But then I got delusions of grandeur part exchanged the 788 for a Yamaha AW2816
16 track recorder with automated faders and built in CD Burner £1600!
Mrs Long got a leather 3pc suite and new bedroom furniture..
Refurbished UPR,added a sound booth ,acoustic insulation and generally tarting
the place up £2000.
Decking,new dining room furniture,and our very first PC
.
This was on my part a very silly move not only did a buy a 16 Track recorder
that I couldn't work.(way beyond my comprehension) I sold the 788 which had the
last 3yrs work on backed up on CD ..I couldn't use. WHAT A PLONKER!!
I managed to record and just about burn the second release from UPR.(Union Place
Records) 'Eyes wide shut' B-side 'Sorry' and 'Three headed lady' Very poor recordings
in my opinion and a lot of other people too!!
It still sits under a sheet waiting for my IQ, to raise .Never mind ,live and
learn!
I conceded defeat and recorded the Next Official release was not from UPR, but
at Gems The only PRO studio in Boston £250 a day with engineer.
It was here that 'Morte' was born alongside with 'Cant you see' , 'Your gone'
and 'Independence day'although not convinced with the Vocals,we overdubbed them
at UPR and put down the Lead guitar solo in Independence day all with an SM58...
This CD to date has sold........well I have duplicated over 3000 copies..
So I had to by another 788 £400 plus of course a new pyrotechnic oven for the
missus ..very Nice!!We have recorded several live sets at UPR,songs include
'You and me'.'makes
you wanna cry' and 'Brothers in arms'.
Happy again with the 788,I will in time learn how to use the AW2816 not quit
sure when.Although Tammy is after new kitchen and I do like the look of the
new Tascam DP-01FX......................
