Maddy Walsh & the Blind Spots latest release “Outrun the Smoke” has all the energy needed to make those weekend plans change from staying in, to having a big night out on the town.
Having released on May 29, 2026 the tone is set from the get go. Angelic layered vocals accompanied by a pulsing rhythm section and funky guitar get your head bobbing with the groove. The synths and ear candy add to this feeling, constantly rising in momentum and intensity. The message is clear, it is time to party.
The song builds in energy throughout and ends in a big crescendo with everyone playing at maximum velocity. From the screeching guitar, psychedelic keys, grooving drums and bass all ending in a solo vocal line, an amazing climax. The play button will be hit again and again.
Having a discography running back to 2015, you can hear the band’s confidence in exploring multiple genres. The relaxed, easy listening “Leaving California Again”, to the classic rock jams of “New Year’s”, there is a vast and vibrant audio spectrum to explore. With over 30k listens on Spotify on “Sun Addict”, their other release this year, they are showing that they are a force to be reckoned with.
“Outrun the Smoke” brings an exciting edge to this Pop track. They perfectly blend the catchy nature of Pop Music with virtuosic musicality, which is very exciting and unique to listen to. Turn up the volume and jam your way through the week.
