  • Bio

    Blondfire is the LA based brother/sister duo of Bruce and Erica Driscoll. Erica's soft, breathy, haunting vocals are at the forefront of a sonic landscape in the vein of MGMT, the Smiths, and the Cardigans. Their songs have been featured in an iTunes Original EP and as the Free-Single-Of-The-Week in addition to appearing in films such as Monster-In-Law, Bangkok Dangerous and I Think I Love My Wife. They're also the first unsigned band to reach #1 on the iTunes Alternative chart. Their upcoming album, Win The Game, was self-produced by the siblings. Where The Kids Are, their first single, was mixed by Wally Gagel (of Muse, Folk Implosion and Gorillaz fame). The accompanying video was directed by French director, Aurelien Levitan and features a Lord of the Flies-esque backdrop. The 'Where The Kids Are Single' will be available digitally November 1st.

"Sensuous Europop... All you need is 'L-L-Love'." - ....Entertainment Weekly...... .. "The best set of slinky Europop this side of Kylie Minogue." - ....Boston Globe...... .. "Elegant, melodic Euro-pop/rock with a hint of Brazilian rhythms and a wink at '80s-era new wave." - ....Detroit Free Press...... .. "Spirited, sultry pop that recalls the European sleekness of The Cardigans and the tight, guitar-driven rock of Garbage." - ....Playlist...... .. "The lush cinescapes of the pair's music are as diverse and exotic sounding as their international upbringing." - ....CMJ...... .. "Sweet and sexy global pop." - ....The New Yorker...... .. "Erica sings like a pop angel looking to soar up the indie charts. And with hits like 'L-L-Love' it is easy to see how... it just sounds too damn good to be indie." - ....Crashin' In...... .. "Only once in a while do you discover an artist who has the combination of a great voice, great songwriting, great melodies and great style all at once - this is Blondfire" - ....John Varvatos......
