Sad Blood
After failed attempts at careers in both professional wrestling and standup comedy (due to a lack of any discernible athletic or comedic ability) George Phillips turned his hand to songwriting.
He picked up a guitar and started writing songs about his failures in life and love focusing mostly his failed imaginary relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift.
But he needed a band. After attempting to recruit drummer Daniel Goldberg and bassist Krys Bascombe approximately 22 and half times, they finally relented and Sad Blood was born.
With a raft of emo, power-pop twinged songs they entered the studio in 2015 to record their debut EP. They called it “Ultimate Worrier”.
After a lengthy fictional court battle with Ms. Swift over their ill advised Bad Blood based band name, the band returned to the studio to record their sophomore effort and christened it “Legion of Gloom”, learning nothing from their previous problems with pun-based nomenclature.
The band are about to release a video for the song “Heavy Petting Zoo” from the aforementioned double entendre ladened EP.
You can catch Sad Blood on tour supporting the likes of Moose Blood, Dead! The New Tusk and other bands sympathetic to their catchy, pun-based ditties.
