Band’s biog (2015):
Blank Canvas are a five piece band from Scotland. They have played many high profile gigs, supported some great acts, received radio play on bbc scotland, 6 music and xfm and headlined the T break stage at T in the park. Having recently released the Your Sin EP, the band are in the process of writing new material and are on the verge of a video release (by Glasgow based artist Jamie Johnstone).
“Few bands give so little away with their name as this young Edinburgh quartet. But ‘By the Fire’ offers much potential; its woozy, sunburst quality harks back to the sound of Orange Juice without being the slightest bit in awe of its influences.” The Scotsman
“Elements of dreamy math combined with sweet, indie melodic guitars and bass are met with the vocals of Matt Berninger [The National] come Ed Macfarlane [Friendly Fires] creating an infectious sound” The 405
“They’ve got some great songs already, combined with strong vocals and a new Johnny Greenwood in the making on the guitar.” Vic Galloway, BBC
