Great step forward for Blof

Rick Amiabel | Netherlands | 05/08/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Right, they're from the Netherlands, not Norway.

In the Netherlands this band is huge already - one of the most popular bands around - but this single is their first big step towards international stardom. They did collaborate with various international musicians like Christina Branco, but working with a band as huge as Counting Crows is great for them.

"Holiday in Spain" (originally written by Counting Crows, with the Dutch parts freely translated by Blof's bass player, Peter Slager) also shows the many similarities between Blof and Counting Crows. One can really hear the influences also more or less present on Blof's previous albums.

This makes that these two bands fit together perfectly, even though Adam Duritz' voice differs greatly from that of Paskal Jakobsen. If you're interested in hearing more from Blof, this single is a great introduction."
