The Blues Emergency is a renegade band of misfits from Toronto, with a sound that is hard, cranked up, blues-rock infused with the elements of stoner-rock and psychedelia. With socially conscious lyrics, hard hitting guitar riffs, and raspy vocals – the band packs a punch.
Their last high-energy single (released summer 2023), “A Love Revolution,” found media success, and was featured on 94.9 The Rock’s Generation Next, placed #5 on the Top 100 Songs of 2023 on Pet Rock Radio and received great reviews on 102.1 The Edge, Spill Magazine, and other music review sites worldwide.
They’ve just released their follow-up single, “Quicksand” on January 12th, and this one is sure to reach similar heights as their previous single.
““Quicksand” explores the devastating effects of heavy drug addiction, mental health, and homelessness that increasingly plagues our society. The title is used as a metaphor for someone struggling with these issues as they sink deeper into an abyss of darkness with a feeling of no way out. The song is a call to action for people to come together and make a real difference in the lives of those struggling with these issues by giving them a day-in-the-life view. It’s easy to judge another person when you don’t have knowledge of their past.” – The Blues Emergency
“Quicksand” is a hard-hitting song with powerful riffs, memorable vocals, and a beat that sticks in your head. The intensity of the lyrics are matched with the band’s performance, creating a captivating sonic experience.
