Blizzards set to release latest single "Postcards" on Friday

It"s a firm fan favourite, and a song that means a great deal to The Blizzards - yes "Postcards" will be released this Friday, February 27, available for download and from all good record stores.The video for "Postcards" is also definitely worth a watch, as some of it was shot in the lads" local watering hole, Finn"s in Mullingar, and can be seen on www.youtube.com/theblizzards.'Postcards' is the third single from The Blizzards" platinum selling sophomore album 'Domino Effect', and, where their previous two singles illustrated The Blizzards" ability to write and perform compelling power-pop at its most potent, Postcards outlines a contrasting side to the Irish five-piece.Postcards is an epic three and a half minute anthem drenched in delicate melodies and emotional lyrics complemented by a chorus and hook that Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber would be proud of!A song which the band says remains incredibly close to their heart, Postcards outlines a moment everyone experiences directly or indirectly during their lives, a circumstance made all the more confounding by not getting to say goodbye.Far from a song based on morbidity and anguish (something no one needs right now) its foundations lie in hope and positivity and serves to uplift the listener and to let them know that they"re not alone.The Blizzards have been nominated for three Meteor Irish Music Awards at this year"s show, Best Irish Band, Best Irish Pop Act and Best Irish Live Performance - the category the boys got the award for last year.'We are extremely excited about the Meteors and we"re honoured to be up for three awards, so please get behind us and vote and thanks again for all your support,' said Niall Breslin.You can vote for your favourite nominees in the Meteor Ireland Music Awards 2009 straight from your mobile.
