BLOXX Make A Splash With Debut Album "Lie Out Loud"

While Uxbridge rising indie pop band BLOXX aren’t exactly new kids on the block, they certainly know how to keep it fresh with each new release. Their new album, Lie Out Loud, is a testament to that.

The album is a catchy, arena-ready hit that combines pop goodness with grungier undertones — think Wolf Alice meets The 1975 meets San Cisco. 

‘Lie Out Loud’ feels like a big moment for us, it’s a bit angsty and was actually the last song we wrote for our record, whilst we recorded the record, so it nearly didn’t even happen! I remember being so wildly annoyed that day because I was sitting around doing nothing and I just remember myself and Jenn Decilveo (our producer) shouting lyrics at each other and arguing over whether or not ‘lie out loud’ made any sense. It definitely does,” said Fee Booth.

BLOXX consists of lead singer Ophelia “Fee” Booth, guitarist Taz Sidhu, bassist Paul Raubišķis and drummer Mozwin Norohna, having formed in West London in 2016. Since its conception, BLOXX have released banger after banger, including their debut single “Your Boyfriend,” “You” and “Novocain.” Booth has noted her influences to include The Specials, the Editors and P!nk, which very much speaks to the punky, rowdy, pop-infused style of music they make.The band have added themselves to a line-up of recent female-fronted bands taking over the male-dominated indie rock/pop scene, with Booth joining the likes of Wolf Alice’s Ellie Roswell and Black Honey’s Izzy Phillips as the badass women raising hell on the radio and in our playlists. Booth has also made it clear that she’s here to empower her fellow LGBTQ+ community members, and we are certainly here for a queer female presence in the indie scene. 

Since their joyous arrival, BLOXX have managed to rack up millions of Spotify streams in just a few tracks, have supported Two Door Cinema Club and the Wombats on tour and have received airplay on Triple J. This is certainly no easy feat for an indie band, and it gives insight into just how phenomenal they are.
