San Diego’s The Microblades sound like a time capsule cracked open and rewired—sunbaked harmonies, descriptive lyrics, and guitars that shimmer like heat off pavement. Known for their electrifying live performances, The Microblades have been featured at many of San Diego’s top venues such as The Music Box, SOMA San Diego, The Che Cafe, The Casbah, The Soda Bar. The band started in the grit of the unconventional, turning forgotten spaces like freeway underpasses and alleyways into electric stages. Each show feels like a secret rebellion, where music meets the pulse of the street. Their breakout single Cowboy crowned them with a 2024 San Diego Music Award and wrapped their retro soul in dreamy visuals. Giulietta Randell stands as lead vocalist and guitarist, voice smoky with defiance, threading scenes into lyrics like film stills. Drummer Lauren Deerinck executes her playing like the punctuation in a love letter written in morse code—moody, powerful, exact. Imogen Collis, all quiet fire, seals each track with her dynamic rumble and edge from her bass. As the Microblades have grown into their own, they’ve shared the stage with both rising and established artists such as Kid Sistr, Emei, Rain on Fridays, Couch Dog, Daring Greatly, and Doll Riot. The Microblades are currently trending on National Radio at #29 on Mediabase’s 7-day Activator chart. New music coming soon.
