Repress, black vinyl. The strength of a live album depends on two factors: does it have the spark and energy to transport you to the live setting, and do the band sound as strong live as on record? Blues Pills' first full-length live album, recorded at German festival Freak Valley, hits both these targets and beyond.

The foursome won over everyone from metalheads to blues aficionados when they first appeared in 2011 with their soul-soaked, 70s throwback blusey rock, fuelled by Elin Larsson's powerful pipes.

They only have one album, but the songs take on a new lease of life live - rife with improvisation and elongated solos, from the stomp of High Class Woman to the psychedelic swirls of Bliss.
