The Bonnevilles are shaking Northern Ireland in a way it hasn't felt since Van Morrison & Them obliterated Club Rado in 1964 and Stiff Little Fingers blew apart The Trident in 1977! The Bonnevilles don't so much play punk blues as use it as a spring board to create a completely new genre. The Lurgan duo take Mississippi Hill Blues and Punk Rock and mix into their own unique dark Northern Irish Punk Blues stew.
The Bonnevilles are a no-frills guitar-and-drums two-piece from Northern Ireland who play hard-hitting roots music they call "garage punk blues." Formed in Lurgan and Banbridge in 2009, the Bonnevilles feature guitarist and singer Andrew McGibbon, Jr. and drummer Chris McMullan. McGibbon was a blues fan whose take on the genre was turned upside down by R.L. Burnside's raucous collaboration with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Ass Pocket of Whiskey. After checking out like-minded acts like the Immortal Lee County Killers and the Soledad Brothers, McGibbon decided to start doing some blues wailing of his own.
Teaming up with McMullan, the group began playing out and in 2010 released their debut album, Good Suits and Fightin' Boots. As the band toured in support, both McGibbon and McMullan struggled with the death of a parent, which informed the duo's second LP, 2012's Folk Art and the Death of Electric Jesus. As the Bonnevilles continued to tour the U.K. and Europe, they shared stages with the likes of Bob Log III, the Black Diamond Heavies, T-Model Ford, and Kid Congo Powers. In 2014, the band documented its powerful live show with the album Tape Saturation Overdrive: Live in Belfast.
In 2015, the Bonnevilles visited one of the cradles of American blues when they were invited to play Clarksdale, Mississippi's Deep Blues Festival. That same year, the group struck a deal with Alive Naturalsound Records, an American independent label closely associated with raw blues-rock. March 2016 saw the release of the Bonnevilles' third studio album (and first for Alive), Arrow Pierce My Heart. The band kept up a busy touring schedule in the U.K. and Europe, and in 2017 Alive issued a collection of early recordings, Listen for Tone, as a limited vinyl-only Record Store Day release. Norway's Blues for the Red Sun Records gave Folk Art and the Death of Electric Jesus a band-approved reissue on LP in 2017, while the Bonnevilles went back to the studio to cut their fourth studio effort. Dirty Photographs, which added a touch more detail to the band's rough-hewn sound, was released by Alive Naturalsound in March 2018. ~ Mark Deming
The band recently achieved a major milestone by landing one of their tracks in the soundtrack of the latest season of the hit Amazon Prime series, "Reacher." This placement not only underscores their growing influence in the music industry but also serves as a testament to the universal appeal of their music.
Check out their latest album Age of Monsters which was released earlier this August and lends its name to this, their latest UK and Euro tour.

MUDLOW might well be the best kept secret in British blues. They have played In Europe at the likes of the Orange Blossom Festival and the legendary Deep Blues Festival in the USA to ecstatic responses. They were also amongst the very first bands to support Seasick Steve on his initial forays to the UK and he loves 'em - "Those Mudlow boys are crazy good!' But it's fair to say they are - relatively speaking - prophets without honour in their own land.
2022 marked the band's 20th anniversary. Various band members have come and gone including a full blown brass section and instrumentalists on saxophone, harmonica and piano.
The first album, Welcome To Mudlow Country, arrived in 2004, and it introduced the band's perennial landscapes, characters and sounds. Expansive and yet claustrophobic; cars always on the verge of breakdown; boats on the verge of sinking; bad weather; bad people - no cancel that... unlucky people; echoes of Tom Waits, Tony Joe White, Jerry Reed in the lyrical concerns and sonic delivery, while Hubert Sumlin and Lonnie Mack haunt Tobias's blistering guitar-playing.
The second album, 'Sawyer's Hope' was followed by three digital EPs, Minnesota Snow, Letter To Louise and Crackling. All filled with Beat Poetry and Mudlow's unique miscellaneous stew of Americana, blues, rock and noir-ish balladry. By this time they were operating as a trio. The classic combination of guitar, bass and drums demanded inventiveness in the studio to create their unique take on the blues. A 2018 compilation, ‘Waiting For The Tide To Rise’, perhaps summed up the band's status. Their latest album the superb ‘Bad Turn’, is surely misnamed however…. Things are definitely looking up.
The band recorded a new album of hand-picked cover versions (that will be given the full swampy Mudlow treatment) released on German label Juke Joint 500 in 2024.
The band say: "After a couple of decades together we're very comfortable. We have very defined roles. We each know what we have to do and we’re producing the best music we ever have. The American roots music blogger, Rick Saunders once said we sound like a band who finishes each other's musical sentences, and that's about right” The band's next musical chapter promises to be the most exciting yet.
The British scene is waking up to their qualities. They recently topped the IBBA Playlist Chart with Bad Turn, the reviews are great, and the bookings are rolling in: so, if this is your introduction to the band……. Welcome To Mudlow Country.
