About the song

Some People is one of those songs that turned into a gargantuan beast filling nearly every track we had on the mixer and then some. It’s a funky beast that although sweet as sugar in parts, has a message that is quite biting and confronting.

I love the sound Herrin has on his guitar parts and the “Funky Love Horns” do their thing again. The end of the song has a message that sums it all up rather nicely. We’re all much the same as the other when it comes to Love.

Rebel Punk Rock set to swirling psychedelic visuals make this video clip a wild ride.

At 1:45 its like being on a short roller coaster with speakers and a sub-woofer at your feet. Crank it up and enjoy the rebellious side of Blossomheads music.

Album Review: Blossomhead – Dream Beautiful

Download MP3 Album Sampler – Dream Beautiful (9MB)

Earlier this year Blossomhead completed his fantasmogoric album called Dream Beautiful. It was the result of many years of surviving and investment.

This is a review of the album by local music mag aficianado, Clip Tickles. He’s pretty eccentric so look out for it!

What style would you describe your music as?

“If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that question, well I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this, I’d probably be on a beautiful, tropical island watching mermaids at play with the dolphins and whales while the mermen flap by trying to intimidate and impress me with their huge muscles……?” Continue Reading »

Over the past few years I’ve had to face more than most people probably do in their lifetime.

Writer, artist, poet, songwriter, musician and father Greg Reid has indeed had more than his fair share of challenges.
From cancer and the ravages of chemotherapy, operations that involved replacing both hips and knees to deep issues surrounding life, death and relationships, Greg still feels he’s the luckiest man alive.

“There aren’t many people,” Greg said “Who get a second chance at life and the chance to face their death again. The first time I wasn’t ready, but I think I’ll be able to leave peacefully next time.”
Greg believes one of the reasons for him being given a second chance was to create his first album, ‘Dream Beautiful.’ A collaboration with long time friend, musician, producer and sound engineer Herrin Larkan, the album has taken the pair over seven years to complete. Continue Reading »
