Like a Thing

Blue Screen Dreaming is a commentary on the insidiousness of a comfortable routine and the silent manifestation of crisis. The swelling and distorted guitar is representative of a rumbling relentlessness and desire to steer into the right direction. This is counterbalanced by a sweeter and more gentle melody, providing refuge at the cost of tighter chains to the unabating engine. 

The lyrics articulate this grapple with relatability and in the chorus, with insistence that the feeling of yearning is shared, as well as the bravery to do something about it, which ultimately connects us.

Shy & Unappealing

Overachiever

Toys

Displaying a willingness to travel down darkened paths with candid self-assurance, Start a Fight describes trusting instincts despite surrounding confusion, ultimately helped by accepting that you may be the darkened path for others. Wrapped up within the viscerality of physical conflict, Start a Fight poses as much of a metaphorical mental grappling with trusting your inner orientation and finding excitement within the unclear, as it does a simplicity, enjoyed as a reckless drive to entangle with the unknown.

The fierce and direct track arrangement serves as a punch in the face of its own, swapping between tension and waves of release. The recurring guitar riff, though dark in nature is counterbalanced by a playfulness and accompanied by a vocal melody, almost ‘50s esque in structure, supporting said themes of assuredness within the undetermined.

Start A Fight

Name your band after your grandma. Thelma Ball have done exactly that with their
trademark spotlight shining on the softly medicated culture in which we inhabit. Their
fascination with the soft and gooey grey areas of human experience, hidden underneath
dull perimeters of self-assurance supply the band with a juxtaposed undercurrent from
which they draw their inspiration.

​

Previous releases, ‘Start a Fight’ and 'Like a Thing', perfectly showcase the band’s dulcet interpretation and modern day commentary. Pre-apocalypse support for Alien Tango, Nature TV and Time for T, as well as strong Spotify playlist coverage, is earning Thelma Ball a reputation of their own and after much toil and graft during Covid’s imposed solitude, the grandma-rock outfit have released, ‘My Other’, their 2022 summer single, with more planned for the future.
