Blessed Release Stream of Second Single ‘The Body’ From ‘II’ EP

Vancouver’s Blessed are getting ready to release II on April 28th via Kingfisher Bluez (Canada) and Cointoss Records (US) and they are sharing the second single from the EP, Body. Blessed‘s artful post-punk and twitchy indie rock sound has earned the band comparisons to everyone from Television and The Fall to Ought and Radiohead.

You can stream Body here and pre-order the II EP here (US) and here (Canada)
