Blow Up Betty deliver a total rock purists dream - full of attitude, sweet melodies, top-notch musicianship and kick ass rock. What else could one want?
After winning 5 SAMI awards (Best Pop Act, Best Alternative Act, Best Emerging Artist, Best Vocalist and Most Outstanding Drummer), claiming the number 2 position on Three D Radio's annual Top 100+1, touring Melbourne and the South East, playing shows with Grinspoon and Mach Pelican, playing the Adelaide Fringe and a slot on the Taste of Chaos tour in Adelaide in 2006, one can only wonder what 2007 will bring!
With live shows planned across Australia, airplay on Three D radio, Triple J and Nova only helping the cause and their newly recorded EP just about to be unleashed upon the world, one thing is for sure- Blow Up Betty is the all-girl rock force you always heard about and will now dare to experience!

They say it themselves- the whole “chick rock†thing has been done a million times before. So why should you listen to Blow Up Betty? Let’s start with the fact that they’re one of Adelaide’s brightest and fastest-rising young bands. Then we’ll point out that they’ve been creating quite a buzz around town, even nabbing awards already. Then there’s the tight sound, the melodic rock, the fun vibe… Lauren McMenemy- Music Editor- the Advertiser (25/08/05)
Generally, all-girl bands seem to have a certain look to them. Blow Up Betty manage to avoid the cliché black boots and spiked collars girls seem to adopt to look like tough rock stars…Ryan Smith- dB magazine (24/08/05)
Blow Up Betty’s “She’s A Gonna†is one that really stands out. It has a real pop vibe to it, but still retains a bit of dirty girly sleaze that is quite fresh to listen to…Nix Crichton-purerawk.co.uk (08/2006)

BLOW UP BETTY...an all-girl howling full throttle punkrock band... they thrash away the kinda fuckoff in-ya-face riot grrrrl insanity that'd put pissy little amateur acts like Hole, The Distillers or The Donnas in the dust..and sure they may look like goofy midgets recently escaped from Santa's Workshop on a sugar fueled killing spree thru a toystore after dark...but daaamn do they rock!...SPOZ- http://spoz.blogspot.com (08/2006)
