"Den blev till slut TeePee-etiketten som fick namnunderskriften av detta Stockholmsband som av nästan alla spås en lysande framtid. Soundet är som en mix av shoegazing pop och hypnorock, typ My Bloody Valentine, Neu! och Stereolab på en och samma gång. De spelar live massvis, så var beredda, detta är en stor svensk platta från New York." (Delicious Goldfish Records )

Some of the talks about our upcoming release.. There is a month left until our U.S. release for Steal My Horses And Run, so its a little early for a review collection. But here is some of the blog buzz thats going on about our coming release: // HEEB MAGAZINE:  Blackstrap Steal My Horses and Run (TeePee Records) Think Soundtrack of our Lives but with more shoegazing…better yet, what you really wish the Dandy Warhols sounded like. http://www.heebmagazine.com/blog/view/678    BUDDYHEAD: Tee Pee Records (a label who's run by a dude named "Angry Jesus", imagine The Dude crossed with an ultimate fighter) is (sometime soon?) putting a record by a band from Stockholm, Sweden called Blackstrap that's pretty damn good. They sound like My Bloody Black Rebel Primal Scream Mary Chain Club to me. http://www.buddyhead.com/index.php?s=BLACKSTRAP   MUSIC MILLENIUM: While most shoegaze revival bands of the early ..00s aped genre inventors My Bloody Valentine solely, Stockholm's Blackstrap upped the ante by marrying MBV's miasmic sonics with the danceable thrust and pop sensibility of HONEY'S DEAD-era Jesus and Mary Chain. Their second full-length, STEAL MY HORSES AND RUN, is an intoxicating sonic absinthe shot that argues emphatically that loud, pulsing guitars are still the best way for an audience to lose its collective mind. http://www.buymusichere.net/rel/v2_viewupc.php?storenr=23&upc=70723900841 SURFING ON STEAM: For fans of My Bloody Valentine, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and the driving energy of early Stereolab I urge you to check out Blackstrap. Melodic guitars and pristine layers of sound dominate their sophomore album, Steal My Horses and Run. These Swedes know their dream pop. http://surfingonsteam.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html   QUARTER LIFE PARTY: The album appears to be one that is consistent throughout without getting stale and boring, so this might be something you will want to keep in your queue for the months to come. http://quarterlifeparty.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-shoegaze-blackstrap.html   CRASHIN ÍN: This is an ace debut that not many of you know about, but should. "Rough Parade" is simply irresistible tune that will stick in your head all day long. http://www.crashinin.com/reviews.php     MUSIC DIRECT: "Steal My Horses And Run " is an album that not only captures the sonic elements of what make BLACKSTRAP a strong live band, but also the great instantly memorable songs of primal, psychedelic rock, injected with beautiful, captivating and mysterious melodies.  http://www.musicdirect.com/product/81615 // If you do write about us in your blog, paper or whatever, please let us know! More news is soon to come! Love Blackstrap 7:05 AM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment
