The Underground Stage
“Blake Williams’ sharp two-piece setup rings like a bell in this room, giving razor-edged songs room and height to swing and swoop around. Always a pleasure to see, but tonight it’s extra levels on all levels.” Gallery Listen
“Blake Williams sharp emo and pop-punk gets a drummer for this set, adding some glorious space and a raw edge that amplifies the sizzle in the songs. Sad-face songs played with joy and abandon, noisy melody and happy racket.” Gallery Listen
“Blake Williams’ set is all sugary pop-punk, tempered and balanced with darker notes. These wired songs are as taut as they are giddy good fun, sharp teeth in the wild grin. As sweet as it comes off, it’s the salt and the spice that you remember.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Blake Williams doesn’t miss, precisely-targeted directly to the core. The power in these songs meshes with their vulnerability, exposing as much as they explode off the stage, raw emotion harmonising with the sheer glee of playing. Fun, raw, and stronger than a steel beam.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Renegade patches up its own wounds with razor-edged guitars and urgent delivery, sharp and insistent and jerking around like mad. It’s a tough story to hear, but it’s hard not to walk away with just a bit more grit and determination to power ahead regardless ✊”
“Blake Williams is just the one body but makes the sound of several, searing tone and wild songs. The riffs are what end up killing you dead, a rare pleasure.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
