"Blamethrower" is the seventh single by Surrey-based rock band Reuben, and the first track to be taken from their second album, Very Fast Very Dangerous. It was released in April 2005 as a download-only single, a first for the band. Inevitably, opinion was divided on this, the first new Reuben track to be heard since the release of the first album the previous year, but the new track got numerous plays on Radio 1 and made video of the week on MTV2 in February 2005. The band wanted to release something quickly and easily for fans and newcomers to hear in the gap between the first album and the warm up for the second, and it was agreed that a download single before the 'proper singles' would be best. The download also featured a 'b-side'; downloaders who purchased Blamethrower also received the track 'Freddy Kreuger' from the first album for free, in the interest of promoting interest in the band and their first album.
