Blood Relatives

Blood Relatives

Blood Relatives are a Glasgow indie rock group active since 2013, with Anna Meldrum listed as a member. The band has played music together for a number of years and released a debut album, Deerheart, in 2013.

Their songs are built to combine danceable rhythms with lyrics that encourage listening as well as movement. Their sound mixes pop hooks with wordplay and a distinctly Scottish sense of humour, and is described as upbeat in contrast to Glasgow’s weather.

The group’s lyrics are a notable part of its music, with the songs using wit and verbal play alongside memorable melodies. The band’s name also reflects a deliberate sense of family or community, despite the fact that the members are not related.
