Blondfire is back, but now as a solo act after the departure of the brother, Bruce Driscoll, from the duo. Blondfire is Erica Driscoll. Her ethereal yet confident vocals and ineffable style brought the band great acclaim and a worldwide fan base with the 2014 breakout album “Young Heart” (featuring the alternative hit “Where the Kids Are”). Blondfire’s new music bursts forth with a potent sense of purpose, more guitars, and more bite, both sonically and lyrically. The new EP is “inspired by the crazy Manchester drug scene aftermath and how seeking that ultimate euphoria and pleasure can come with a dark side,” Erica says. “It was fun while it lasted.”
