Blankslate was founded in 2018 by college roommates Emma, Tess and Rylee after the trio transferred to the University of Denver from different schools. Reeling from bad spells in California, New York, and Massachusetts, each member of the band came to Denver in search of a change of pace; a fresh start. In the beginning, they practiced in a storage closet in the basement of their dorm and played small coffee shop and open mic gigs around DU.
In the spring of their junior year, the trio recorded four songs with Tyler Imbrogno of Eldren at Daymoon Studios and released the {thursday} EP in November 2020. After that, Blankslate began writing their debut album, which is set to be released in summer 2022.
The driving principle behind Blankslate is transformation; a belief in the possibility to become. By culling elements of disparate influences ranging from folk to grunge to classic rock, the band crafted a sound that is uniquely their own and serves as the tapestry upon which referential, diaristic lyrics and stories are interwoven.
