It’s no secret that we at Vinyl have love for Blondfire. It all started at South by Southwest 2013 when we saw them play a show at The Belmont with Sirah, Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Rockie Fresh, Action Bronson and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (um…best lineup ever?). Since then, we’ve been hooked.
We sat down with them at SXSW this year (after trying to meet up at a restaurant that no longer exists and getting super lost and confused), and they patiently held off eating a delicious-looking muffin to talk with us about their newest release Young Heart, finding band members through Craig’s List, what they love about South by Southwest and, of course, what’s next for them. Enjoy!

Emily is an over-enthusiastic lover of music, books, movies, fashion, and culture in general. Her love of music spans across all genres (what is a genre anymore? she waxes poetic to herself), though she was nursed on true punk and will never understand “redneck country” music – tractors are not and cannot be sexy. Emily currently lives in Brooklyn, NY and considers herself to be a great wit, though she is still waiting on validation from a credible source.
