The band comment: “We
wrote ‘Low Road’ about being your own worst enemy. About running from
your own demons only to realise that you can’t, because the problem is
inside of yourself. ‘Low Road’ is maybe one of the heaviest songs we’ve
ever written, filled with the brutalness of the human mind, that can be
both vicious and lost. Everybody have probably found themselves fumbling
in the dark at some point in life. And with ‘Low Road’ there is no way
out. We love playing this song live, because it’s just raw, balls to the
wall rock power. Hopefully this can be a relief for a moment in this
wicked world.
With the video for ‘Low Road’ we just wanted to express ourselves live
and adding some humor to this raw tune putting ourselves in a twisted
surreal TV-show. And in some way it’s an honor to some of our heros from
the 60s-70s era of rock’n’roll it’s where we got the inspiration from.
THE BEATLES, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, THE DOORS, MC5, THE ROLLING STONES to
mention a few. The ones who did something to break down the barriers.
Imagine, to be the ones taking the first steps opening up the world to
heavier rock music. We love them for that.”
Today, they also kick off the pre-order for “Holy Moly!”, that will be available as CD, 2CD-Digipack, LP and Vinyl-Box.

If you were blazed by the heaviness of their first self titled album, and tripped to the psychedelic soul of “Lady In Gold” (#1 Germany) you won’t be immune to the effects of this third dose of the pills.
“Holy Moly!” was written, produced and recorded in BLUES PILLS’ own analogue studio which they built in the beautiful countryside of Närke, Sweden. In the old factory building, where the studio is located Zack, Elin and André spent almost a year recording and writing songs.
The album is recorded by BLUES PILLS guitarist Zack, although with some helping hands along the way from THE HIVES members Nicolaus Arson and Johan Gustafsson, as well as Martin Jacobsson from Rovljud Sound. “Holy Moly!” is self- produced by BLUES PILLS and mixed by the Grammy award winning Andrew Scheps (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, IGGY POP, ADELE, BLACK SABBATH, RIVAL SONS, HOZIER). The album illustration “Beast” is by the artist Daria Hlazatova.
