Hyde and Zachman met in a bar in October of 2009. Hyde was fronting multiple blues and soul bands and playing around the region, while Zachman had just moved to Ithaca to pursue his loop-centered song-writing. The two began playing together and immediately started gigging extensively.

They recorded their first EP, “Overrated,” in Zachman’s apartment and all over Cornell’s campus while students were gone for winter break. The EP was then mixed by David Peters at the Belfry Studio in Syracuse and at the Malgamar Studio House in Los Angeles.

Blow! released "Overrated," on February 6, 2010 at their Wildfire Lounge show with Asobi Seksu and almost immediately scored a publishing contract with BUG Music in Manhattan.

In April 2010, Blow! went into a New York studio to record with the legendary Jimmy Bralower, a man whose name graces over 250 million albums.

Blow! then signed to Angry Mom Records and released a vinyl 7" album on August 21, 2010. Blow! is currently on tour across the Northeast.
