EPK ALBUM

VIDEO

PRESS

"With perhaps the best band name since You Love Her Coz She’s Dead (fuck, that band was awesome), Makes My Blood Dance today (August 7) unleash a thunderous romp through the dark nightclubs and into illuminated companionship. “Heavy Metal Armour” is all about the emotional exterior we all need in surviving the flesh combat that is a person-to-person love affair."

 - Michael O'Connor Marotta, Vanyaland

[Their latest video “Heavy Metal Armour”] showcases the band’s unique and distinctive style. An impressive dance sequence is mixed with fiery performance shots, resulting in a chaotic, yet intoxicating visual experience. 

 - Jessica Hart, EARMILK 

Their live shows are events that transform spaces and crowds into rave-like experiences. Big on crowd interaction and explosive lighting and theatrics, Jon Kristian simply says “We are the freaks.” 

-Occhi Magazine 

Some describe them as a “ballsier Panic at the Disco, with Ghost, Mindless Self Indulgence, and NIN rolled into one.” 

- Ritika Gulati, Black Bird News

“Heavy Metal Armour” emits a rambunctious sound with unruly guitars and determined percussion crashing against impassioned vocals. The powerful and electrifying anthem is certain to ignite the listeners adrenaline, sending them into a frenzy, resulting in a truly unforgettable release.

- Joe Beer, Surrey, UK, Atwood Magazine

"The new songs they're playing on this tour are straight-up next level"

- Dead Noise Blog -

"This band is doing something totally new, totally unique, totally fresh - its a fun dance party mixed with metal mixed with, like, theatrics and just really well written songs, guitar riffs, and vocals - don't miss it, and Evo is a f**king fantastic dude."

-  Dustin Peterson, Brutal Planet Magazine -

"The vibe is Saturday night fever meets guitar hero 2099."

-   Gabe Kubanda, 360 Magazine -

"Lead vocalist and founder EVO and guitarist/synth player Jon Kristian rip open and hotwire genres at will, whatever the songs demand, like self-taught chemists slowly losing it in a condemned lab."

- Guernslye Honore, Medium -

"Makes My Blood Dance just dropped their new track "Power of the Lightside," whose intro alone should entice any fan of heavy harmonized riffs. Then of course once the hook comes around, you're basically forced into staying."

- Greg Kennelty, Metal Injection -

"Early on in their career, MMBD usually got described as disco-metal, but they also pride themselves on incorporating elements of synth-wave and cyberpunk to their recent sound. Ultimately, the sound they put out is full of huge guitars, catchy hooks, and driving rhythms with synths and a fun disco-like vibe to round things out."

-  Mandy Scythe. Metal Sucks -

"They’ve got a take-no-prisoners kind of mentality that really turns me on as a music critic."

-   Alisa Garza, Music Existence -

"it’s clear that if they stay connected with this present set of creative ideals, mainstream success will find them one way or another."

-   John McCall, Too Much Love Magazine -

"Makes My Blood Dance are a band that defy musical genre. They incorporate elements of cyberpunk, synthwave, metal, and pop cranking out a sound best described as electronic-sleaze, disco-dance-metal."

-   Theron Moore, New Noise Magazine  -

-   Lisa Hafey, Essentially Pop  -
