A menudo comparado con una sesión improvisada entre ARETHA FRANKLIN y LED ZEPPELIN, la carrera de BLUES PILLS los llevó de un garaje estadounidense a la gloria internacional en pocos años.
Su álbum debut homónimo (2014) entró en las listas de álbumes alemanes en el n. ° 4 y dos años después pasaron directamente al n. ° 1 con la sucesora LADY IN GOLD.
Comenzando en los clubes más pequeños, la banda de repente se encontró tocando en algunos de los escenarios más grandes del mundo, desde ROCK AM RING, DOWNLOAD, SWEDEN ROCK e incluso el prestigioso FESTIVAL DE JAZZ DE MONTREUX, donde DEEP PURPLE vio “el humo en el agua” durante la actuación de Frank Zappa.
El tercer álbum de la banda, ¡HOLY MOLY !,se lanzará el 19 de junio de 2020 a través de NUCLEAR BLAST y BLUES PILLS planifica su regreso a varios escenarios importantes como los festivales DOWNLOAD, HURRICANE Y SOUTHSIDE, entre muchos otros durante todo el verano.
Pero los fanáticos no necesitan esperar hasta el verano para probar por primera vez la acción pues BLUES PILLS lanzó su primer sencillo "Proud Woman".

(Rockum) - BLUES PILLS Announce New Album Holy Moly and Release First Single "Proud Woman"
Often compared to a jam session between Aretha Franklin and LED ZEPPELIN, BLUES PILLS' career took them from an American garage to international glory within a few years. Their self-titled debut album (2014) entered the German album charts at #4 and two years later they went straight to #1 with the successor Lady in Gold. Starting in the smallest clubs the band suddenly found themselves playing on some of the world’s biggest stages from Rock Am Ring, Download, Sweden Rock and even the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival where DEEP PURPLE famously saw smoke on the water during Frank Zappa’s performance.
With the band’s 3rd album, Holy Moly!, to be released on June 19th, 2020 via Nuclear Blast, BLUES PILLS plan their return to a number of major festival stages, playing Download, Hurricane and Southside among many others throughout the summer.
But fans need not wait until summer for their first taste of the action. To support International Women’s Day on March 8th BLUES PILLS have released their first single "Proud Woman".
