Pip Blom: A DIY Punk Spirit
Pip Blom, the eponymous frontwoman of the Amsterdam-based band, describes their sound as an “updated take on rocker girl angst.” The band’s music is characterized by a raw energy, catchy melodies, and a DIY ethos that harkens back to the punk era.
In an interview with Flaunt, Blom shared insights into their creative process: “I sit down, watch a documentary and play my guitar while watching. As soon as something I play stands out more than the documentary, I know I should focus on that riff I’ve made.” This approach underscores their spontaneous and instinctive songwriting style.
Blom also mentioned the band’s evolution: “We did have a few changes of line-ups. But I think this one is the one.” This suggests a sense of stability and camaraderie within the current lineup, which has contributed to their distinctive sound.
The band’s name, Pip Blom, is a playful nod to the frontwoman’s identity. Their music is a reflection of their personality – confident, assertive, and unapologetically loud. With their infectious energy and relatable lyrics, Pip Blom has carved a niche for themselves in the contemporary music scene.
