Pip Blom the band is led by the young Amsterdam songwriter of the same name. Using post-punk urgency, 90’s alt-rock hooks and twists, and a genuine knack for songwriting and expression, the music is a refreshing blast of catchy, poppy tunes that we can’t get enough of. The band dropped by Serious Business Music in Brooklyn while in the states prior to SXSW to give us a live taste of what they’re capable of.
Pip Blom’s debut LP, Boat, will be release May 31, 2019 from Heavenly Recordings.
