Blues Pills Release “Don’t You Love It” Single for Record Store Day 2024

Swedish rock ‘n’ roll band Blues Pills delivers catchy new track “Don’t You Love It” from their forthcoming album Birthday. The song will also be released on a limited split 12″ with the album title track “Birthday,” exclusively for Record Store Day 2024 on April 20th. A stompin’ anthem to get the party started, “Don’t You Love It” is about living in the now and trying to have fun.

Vocalist Elin Larsson states:

“You’ve gotta let that sh*t go. When life is hard, but you let things go and find the positives. Don’t take life so seriously, just go for the ride and let loose.”

You can hear influences from The Rolling Stones to Patti Smith, with a driving, infectious bassline courtesy of Kristoffer Schander. Elin, sometimes channelling Brody Dalle, other times more Janis Joplin, delivers her effortless charisma and charm on this poppy number. It’s rare for Blues Pills to be so upbeat.

Larsson continues:

“We have a lot of depressing lyrics, we have a lot of depressed sounding songs, but this is a song to dance to!”

Guitarist Zack Anderson adds:

“It’s a breakout for us to have such a positive song!

“We were feeling good, Blues Pills are in a good place, and we wrote the lyrics based on that feeling.

It’s something that came with age. We’ve been a band for a long time and with this album, and at this point, it’s firstly about having fun making music. In the earlier days there was a lot of pressure, now we’ve let all that go.”
