Following
announcements over recent months proclaiming the release of Blood! —
the newly-released but vintage recordings from iconic ‘80s Santa Cruz
surf/skate/hardcore act, BL’AST! – the band then confirmed
their current live lineup which took over stages in the US last year for the
first time in over a decade and a half. Original BL’AST! alumni, vocalist
Clifford Dinsmore (also of Dusted Angel, Gargantula) and guitarist Mike Neider
recruited Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator) on
bass and drummer Hoss Wright (The Exies, Mondo Generator) to flesh out the
brand new live lineup.
BL'AST! have
some more live shows this week in the States and will also perform at the
infamous Hellfest, suggesting that more European shows might be confirmed soon
(we hope!):
02/18/14 -
San Francisco, The Chapel, United States
04/18/14 -
Santa Cruz, The Catalyst, United States
06/21/14 -
HELLFEST, France
But their
story doesn't end there, as another release is on the horizon for the highly
influential hardcore heroes, ready to emerge in March. They are calling
it, The Expression Of Power.
Flashing back to the mid 80s, BL'AST! recorded their debut several times before finally emerging from the studio with their cult classic masterpiece The Power of Expression. For the first time ever, an alternate version (the Track sessions) of this album is officially available via Southern Lord on CD and triple LP. Also included is a 28 page booklet with amazing BL'AST! photos from the mid-80s. All tracks (re)mastered by Brad Boatright.
Their boundary pushing form of hardcore, advanced musicianship, unstoppable energy and intense perseverance is as prominent now as it ever was
