BLESSED ETHEL Welcome To The Rodeo 1996


 
Discogs


Indie rock band from Malvern, United Kingdom, formed in the early 1990s. 

 

Welcome to the Rodeo Review by Steven McDonald

You may be happy to know that the spirit (and sound) of early Blondie has not been lost to the world -- it's alive and well and powerpopping along in the form of Blessed Ethel, a Britpop bunch who can probably lay claim to the Rezillos as another spiritual ancestor (though there's a lot less shrieking going on here.) What we have are buzzsaw guitars, snapping drums, sprightly rhythms, and Sara Doran's voice cutting through the mix like a searchlight -- no claim to range, but she uses what she has in the best way possible.
