The Bluedays
Band Bio:
Forming in late 2024, The Bluedays are the result of a collective desire by Gavin Atkinson (drums), Peter McIver (bass and vocals) and David Robinson (guitar and vocals) to deliver no-nonsense, vibrant tunes to all who want to listen.
In the often over-engineered environment of today’s music, The Bluedays are a breath of fresh air. This exciting three-piece outfit spirits folks away to a more immediate musical landscape. Power pop, indie, punk? That’s for others to decide...
The Bluedays have been solidly gigging around Adelaide’s better known small to medium venues since debuting at the Wheatsheaf in January 2025. They have played at the Grace Emily, the Hotel Metro, The Gov and appear at the Exeter on a regular basis.
The debut single, ‘Where Did You Go?’, was recorded live at one of those shows and is a three and-a-half-minute snapshot of exactly where The Bluedays come from. Urgent, energetic, demanding to be heard. An irresistible sonic feast of pulsating drums, searing guitar, driven bass and passionate vocals – no overdubs.
Despite having a collective musical history that could (and one day might) fill a book, this Adelaide-based trio brings an unprecedented amount of enthusiasm, togetherness and energy to everything they do.
“They're really cool tracks. Nice work!” Pete Maher, mastering engineer (Liam Gallagher, U2), 7 August 2026
In addition to the release of ‘Where Did You Go?’, 2025 saw the band deliver a live album, Come and Get It, which was received favourably across the board. The band made it (somewhat agonisingly) to Number 2 on the Atomic Music charts and spent most of the second half of the year – including an amazing 10-week straight stint – at Number 1 on ReverbNation’s indie charts. A live-to-air radio broadcast on BBBfm 89.1 went so well that both a video clip and a second single have been released.
2026 has seen more successful gigs, and continued success on ReverbNation, but the majority of the band’s time has been spent recording and producing their debut studio album, slated for a mid November release. The first single from the album, ‘I Don’t Want to Be Like This Anymore’, is out on 9 October via Bandcamp.
