Put this band under your radar. From Belfast (Northern Ireland), The 2:19 are the present of the blues. Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters are the inspiration for these guys, they pick up their guitars and let their creativity flow. The harmonica player, guitarist, and singer Chris Chalmers leads this quintet of musicians, composing contemporary, modern, and incisive electric rhythm & blues songs, with the soul of present-day rock 'n' roll intuition. The music in this album reveals a progression in blues music, moving one step forward, freeing it from complacency and taking on the challenge of making blues continue to evolve. The third and most explicit album from The 2:19, they don’t hide behind the obvious, they don’t use usual tricks, their songs are open to improvisation and surprise. I repeat, this is a band you need to follow closely.
