The North Texas Ascension of Blank Labels
Wichita Falls band releases euphoric new single: "You4ia"
Wichita Falls rock quartet Blank Labels continues to release music at a satisfying pace in 2024 and their presence on our playlists is growing. We’ve written before about the classic and southern rock influence plainly audible in the excellent Open Air, and Vague, influenced by indie rock, emo and post-punk revival groups like The Killers, Panic! At The Disco, and The Hives.
Now, Blank Labels are back with “You4ia,” [Spotify | Apple Music] a track which captures the spreading of Blank Labels’ wings, and is a combination of 80s Eurorock in the vein of U2 and Queen, modern-day emo, and 70s progressive rock groups like Yes and ELP.
Check out the way the song breaks down into discordant noise in the middle. Blank Labels is on an adventure, and we’re here for the ride.
Take a listen to You4ia. When heard in context with the guys’ previous single, Vague, it’s pretty clear Blank Labels is crystallizing their sound and becoming a major player in the distinct scene that is North Texas. Tell us what you think in the comments.
