Hailing from Oklahoma City, Blueprint Tokyo has firmly established themselves as a rising force in the indie rock scene and beyond. Formed by the seasoned musicians Andy Hale and Kevin Dawson, this duo has been making an impact in the American music landscape for over a decade.
Known for their infectious hooks and expansive atmospheric sounds, they’ve crafted a unique and evolving identity that keeps audiences eagerly anticipating each new chapter in their musical journey. Blueprint Tokyo’s path, like any compelling musical saga, is marked by both struggle and triumph.
On the brink of early success, the duo faced a significant setback when Kevin Dawson received a life-altering diagnosis, forcing him to temporarily step away from the band. However, their perseverance and resilience, bolstered by a return to good health, ultimately reunited them and reignited their creative pursuits.
In 2021, Blueprint Tokyo heralded their return with the debut single “Panic Carefully,” paving the way for their EPs, A Whole New Life and Cinema Sounds. These releases not only marked their comeback but also showcased their ability to adapt and evolve their sound. Since then, they’ve continued to release a string of singles and now bring us their latest offering with the new single “Mission Control,” the first release from their upcoming full-length album, set to drop early next year.
Serving up a bold indie rock outing that balances driving drums, crunching guitars and powerful vocals to create a lofty rock anthem, “Mission Control” sees Blueprint Tokyo continue to operate at the very highest level. Opened by the strike of drums, the vocals enter backed by the gritty guitars as the song takes flight with soaring melodies and rising energy.
Flickering between hushed vocal leads backed by lush sweeping voices and the commanding moments of belted vocal bursts cut with slick lead guitar flourishes, “Mission Control” delivers a thrilling rock ride from start to finish. As their exciting musical story unfolds, Blueprint Tokyo deliver another anthemic song as they continue to impress both new and existing fans around the world.
