If you are at all familiar with the sound that has been labeled post-rock, then you probably have a good idea of what Blackpool is all about: guitar, bass, real drums, drum machines, soft slow melodies growing to overpowering distortion. No vocals.
Music.Download.com had the following to say about the band:
"Your patience is rewarded when you listen to Blackpool's sprawled-out, hypnotic post-rock. The sonic layers on "Circumstances Dictate" slowly build into what finally becomes a wash of glorious volume and crashing cymbals."
Blackpool is the outlet for San Francisco based musician Kurt Hobson, ex-drummer for power-pop-punk screamers Peppercorn and current stickman for the modestly powerful band The Decoration.
