Debuting their new five-piece lineup
The Blinders are back today with their first new music since last year’s album with ‘City That We Call Love’. This is their first outing as a five-piece band, adding guitarist Eoghan Clifford, drummer Thomas Castrey and Johnny James on keys to the mix.

The result is a much deeper and richer sound that gives The Blinders more room to experiment and really explore their sound. ‘City That We Call Love’ is a brooding, sharp exploration of love and emotion, and it’s the start of a brand new era for the band.
Vocalist and guitarist Thomas Haywood said:
“Love is an enormous feeling, and something I now know I’d never felt up until this point. The music tries to match the weight of that whilst holding its hand with the lyrics. I think both love and a city share the same intricacies and feelings of vastness when you’re in the centre of them, so I guess that’s why I chose to go with that. The band’s got a little more meat on its bones too. There are five of us now instead of three. It's probably the best decision we've ever made.”
The Blinders will be supporting The Cribs on their upcoming UK tour.
