"Some days you just need to hear sloppy, yelling, punk comedians that are as much Neil Young as they are straight stoner rock. This is real garage rock with enough heart not to try emulating anyone else......It's loose, it's good, and any band that does a song about a loser called "(Expletive) Larry" has to be good. And it has easily the best album cover of the year."

"3.5 stars. Don't feel bad if you've never heard of this Boston band because hardly anyone in Boston has either. But from deep inside the muddy bowels of the garage rock underground come The Bludlows with a debut album that, despite its shortcomings, is a genuinely exciting record.....Part Rolling Stones, part Jon Spencer and part Johnny Thunders, No Be An Arsonist is hard evidence of a promising band with astronomical potential. If The Bludlows can tighten up a bit, and I mean the hooks and not the playing, then the garage underground may have its next big thing."

Hardwick, their first album "No Be an Arsonist" rose to high acclaim as one among the top ten best albums of 2005. Their latest release, “Americaville” was recorded and mixed by Mike Cafferey (the notorious drum engineer on Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.”) in NYC at Monster Island Records, and mastered by Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering in Newton, MA. The Bludlows line-up features Hardwick , Denny of the Kennedys, TC Mulhern, and Rob.
