BIO // INTRODUCING BLAME CAESAR
Blame Caesar are a high‑energy five‑piece indie‑rock band from Bedfordshire, known for explosive live performances that fuse classic rock grit with modern indie urgency. Since launching in late 2023, the band have rapidly built momentum on the UK live circuit. Highlights include headlining London’s Camden Assembly, a standout support slot for Toploader at a major day festival, and performances at O2 Islington Academy.
Closer to home, Blame Caesar now play regular shows at key regional venues, including Bedford Esquires and The Horn in St Albans, cementing a reputation as a reliable and exciting live draw. The band are set for a busy summer of festival appearances, with multiple bookings already confirmed.
Blame Caesar’s debut singles “Shall We Dance” and “Don’t Let Me Fall” have amassed 12,000+ Spotify streams, picking up airplay across BBC Introducing, New Music Generator, and Radio Lab. A follow‑up run of three singles led to a nomination for the New Music Generator Breakthrough Awards 2025, further marking the band as a rising name within the UK indie scene. Blame Caesar are currently preparing to release their eagerly awaited debut EP, capturing the urgency and energy of their live shows and representing a major next step in the band’s evolution.
Fronted by BBC Introducing Featured Artist Joe Cullen (vocals) and joined by Max Randall (guitar), Chris Benner (guitar), Lui Tomlinson (bass) and Ed Bavister (drums), Blame Caesar draw from an eclectic palette of influences, blending anthemic hooks with raw, guitar‑led intensity.
FUTURE // WHAT'S NEXT
2026 is shaping up to be another busy one for Blame Caesar with a number of gigs already booked. We'll be back in the studio in Spring 2026 with the latest and greatest of Caesar tunes. Expect to see more from us as we continue on our journey. The band are actively exploring opportunities to work with like-minded and ambitious venues, promoters, labels and managers.

Notes:
Our current live sets do not include the use of click track or samples. Where possible on stage monitors with custom mixes are preferable, particularly for the lead (Joe) and drums (Ed) but we can be flexible. The provision of house equipment and back line such as house drum shell kit, cymbal stands, microphones, amplifier mics, and cables helps us travel light and is much appreciated. Where required we are able to source additional microphones and cables. Where possible the band would be grateful to soundcheck no later than 1 hr prior to doors.
