Well I’m not your dog
So why would you feed me without spoon and fork…
Vilnius quartet Local Blood sharpen irony into anthems, and their latest single Come Around is no exception. Sarcasm replaces affection; defiance masks tenderness. Bombastic synths thunder while vocals deliver every line with a sly, mocking edge. As the band themselves put it: “This is a sarcastic love-relationship anthem, filtered through campy bravado and raw honesty. It’s about refusing to be diminished, even when it’s easier to laugh at yourself than to rage — a goodbye to infantilization and a step toward growing up, while owning vulnerability and turning something messy into something sexy and strong.”
This fall, Come Around becomes the rallying cry of their second European tour. “We’re preparing intensely and are excited to be able to independently organize and head out on our second European tour. We can’t wait to share our music in countries where no one has heard us yet,” the band explains. “The fact that this is already our second international tour, that there’s demand for this kind of music and that people are waiting for us — we’re looking forward to meeting new listeners, feeling the vibe of foreign audiences and exploring the atmosphere of new places.”

Local Blood’s ascent has been steady: 2022’s Dystopian Disco earned them a nomination for Best Rock Band at Lithuania’s M.A.M.A. Awards, and 2023’s Loverman explored the criminal romanticism of early ’90s independence-era Lithuania, receiving widespread media attention and international coverage. Their live launch of the album at Vilnius’ Loftas turned the venue into a Twin Peaks-esque nightclub, underscoring the theatrical irony that fuels their music. By spring 2024, they had already completed their first Central European tour, and their appearance at Europavox Vilnius proved their growing reach.
As they take their album Loverman, the new single ‘Come Around,’ and other unreleased tracks on tour, Local Blood are not only amplifying their own sound but carrying Lithuania’s underground to international stages — strengthening their reputation abroad and forging connections for the future.
