Rick Astley has bravely labelled indie favourites Blossoms ‘the new Smiths’. The unlikely double act bonded recently and ended up performing a full set of material by the 80s indie legends together at two special gigs in London and Manchester this month.
Rick explained: “The Smiths were everything. They just did something that was completely different and it turned me on in a major way.
What is amazing is that Blossoms do exactly the same and they weren’t even born then. Blossoms are great, a really good live band.”
