The Forty Fours sign to Blow Up Records.

Blow Up Records is pleased to announce the signing of The Forty Fours.

The London based group The Forty Fours, emerged in Cornwall as teenagers where they became a highly regarded Rock n Roll three piece unit on the local live scene. Showing a consummate display of vocal harmonies and raw Rhythm and Blues instrumentation. In recent months they have moved to London and are now set to shakedown the capital.

They take their musical influence primarily from traditional Blues and Merseybeat and the sound of the Sixties British Invasion. To date they have been mixing their original songs and covers into a high energy live experience which they are soon to be distilled on to studio recordings for a debut single and album for Blow Up in the coming months. In the meantime, check them out live as they are set to perform live at the forthcoming Blow Up club events in 2025 and other locations. Stay tuned for further updates.

Oliver Harriss (Lead guitar and vocals)

Jason Bazeley (Bass guitar and vocals)

Andy Stander (Drums and vocals)

Blow Up Records sister company Blow Up Songs has also signed Oliver Harriss the bands songwriter to the music publishing company.
