Press for ‘Burned’ (Single)

“The ladies of Blood Lemon are Lisa Simpson (vocals & guitar), Melanie Radford (vocals, bass), and Lindsey Lloyd (drums) and they’ve come together to put their musical prowess and alternative influences towards the creation of their own fiery sound. Their self titled debut album is sure to be just the kind of political alt punk that’s fit for the times, so break out your old riot grrrl zines and get into ‘Burned’ and Blood Lemon.”

— Alyssa Holland, American Pancake

“Similar to the precisely developed collage cover artwork from Rio, Brazil’s Ludzeg (who has agreed to do all the artwork for Blood Lemon’s release), ‘Burned’ seems to take on a new persona with each pass.  The no-apologies drive (with lines like ‘but you better get out of my way / or there’ll be some hell to pay’) of Blood Lemon’s flagship single explodes with gritty rock before shifting into a staunchly unforgettable two-fold existence. Seemingly wrapping at 2:40 the first act appears to fade; but you’re gonna want to stick around for the finale.

The final two-minute crescendo crafts a concussive experience shattering the barriers of assumption and demanding a forfeiture to the sound; one which will surely be given almost instantaneously. Building on soaring guitar, ever-present bass, and pulse pacing drums that cannot, and should not, be resisted, the only thing being burned here is the name Blood Lemon into your mind.

Look for Blood Lemon’s debut release in April of 2021. We can anticipate a single per month leading up to the album release. Until then, we have ‘Burned’.”
