The year is young, but one of the best things I’ve heard so far is the forthcoming release from Blair. Arriving January 26th on Autum Tone, Die Young is a pop album for this generation. We received some great feedback on Blair when we dropped her song “Candy In The Kitchen” into our podcast last week.
Die Young was recorded in New Orleans where Blair grew up listening to Nirvana and learning guitar by listening to John Frusciante’s first solo records. This year is already swept up with major releases by big-named bands. Don’t let that hype let you pass up a chance to pick up one of the year’s most promising surprises.

Thanks so much for introducing me to Blair through the podcast. I’ll definitely be checking out her album. Hopefully we can get a Milwaukee appearance!

Love this album. I’m talking Blair up all the time. There’s just something to “Hello, Halo” that I can’t get out of my head.
