The Bluetones first came to prominence in 1995, when their debut release ‘Are You Blue Or Are You Blind’ broke into the Top 40. The single proved to be the launching pad for a run that saw 14 hit singles and 6 albums follow on from it.

From thereon, the band, made up of brothers Mark & Scott Morriss alongside Adam Devlin and Eds Chesters, enjoyed considerable UK and Ireland successes, extending out across into Europe and Japan, before taking a hiatus in 2011 that lasted for 4 years.

Since then they have re-established themselves as one of the UK’s most consistently entertaining live acts, regularly touring their extensive catalogue to their army of devoted fans.

In 2024 The Bluetones released their first new material in 14 years and hit the UK in the autumn with a run of SOLD OUT tour dates.

The band are set to release their next EP on the 31st March 2025 to coincide with this new run of shows.

“The Bluetones run the gamut from classic indie-pop to psychedelic-tinged rock with unselfconscious ease” – The Scotsman

“The Bluetones are a band tied to their Brit Pop past but with tunes that begin to transcend it too” – Louder Than War
