Blank Range is an American rock band based out of Nashville, TN.[2] The band consists of singer Jonathon Childers, drummer Matt Novotny, bassist Taylor Zachry, and guitarist/singer Grant Gustafson.[3] Rolling Stone magazine describes their sound as a “magical combination of dissonant, Pavement-esque and pavement-ready garage rock & roll with a keen grasp of how to make it all wildly melodic — thanks to super-sticky riffs, restrained psychedelia and a sense of composition that's restless, surprising and pretty fearless.”[4]
Overview
Blank Range has opened for Margo Price, Tyler Childers, Spoon, Alice in Chains, Drive-By Truckers, and Death Cab for Cutie.[5] Blank Range played Luck Reunion and Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in 2018. Blank Range uses amped-up guitars, steel-guitar atmospherics, complex subtle percussion additions, and vocal harmonies to produce textured music with qualities of blues, Americana, ’70s nostalgia, Nashville heartbreak, and psychedelic country-rock.[4][6][7][8] Their debut album, Marooned With the Treasure, was released in 2017 and named Best Rock Album that year by the Nashville Scene.[9] Blank Range is set to release their self-released sophomore album In Unison, on February 1st, 2019. Pittsburgh City Paper calls their new single, "Change Your Look" a raucous garage pop good time which effortlessly showcases their blistering grooves, sticky-sweet melodies, and whip-smart lyricism.[10]
