BIO // INTRODUCING BLAME CAESAR
Blame Caesar are a high-energy five-piece indie-rock band from Bedfordshire, delivering explosive live shows that fuse classic rock grit with modern indie urgency. Fronted by Joe Cullen, alongside Max Randall (Guitar), Chris Benner (Guitar), Lui Tomlinson (Bass), and Ed Bavister (Drums), the band draw from an eclectic palette. Since launching in late 2023, Blame Caesar have built strong momentum on the live circuit, headlining London’s Camden Assembly, supporting Toploader at a major day festival, and performing at O2 Islington Academy. Their debut singles “Shall We Dance” and “Don’t Let Me Fall” have surpassed 12,000 Spotify streams, earning airplay across BBC Introducing, New Music Generator, and Radio Lab. A follow up trio of singles saw them nominated for the New Music Generator Breakthrough Awards in 2025.
Renowned for their high-octane performances, Blame Caesar combine hook-driven originals with bold, reimagined covers of artists such as Kasabian and The Prodigy. The band have consistently been praised for their polished, practiced and professional approach, simply put by one promoter "Blame Caesar delivered and then some". With a polished live package and undeniable energy, Blame Caesar are a reliable, impactful booking and a rising force on the UK indie-rock circuit.

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.
