From the muddy midlands of the United Kingdom comes Alex Blood & The Diggers. Stepping over the grassy divide between rap and roots rock, Alex’s lippy lyrics have opened doors such as supporting slots with Mark Ronson (and Jay-Z, subsequently), Labrinth and Chase & Status.
His honest style is backed by a crew of talented local musicians (dubbed The Diggers), namely Nathan Richards on guitar, Greg Jackson on bass and DJ Snaps on the decks. The message coupled with the music positions Alex Blood and company as the kind of act we love here at The Doughnut.
Check out the video for the single ‘The Way I Do’, which was released today. If you’re in or around the north, be sure to keep an eye on their gig listings for live shows in your area.
