The Blamed Get Active
The Blamed have begun writing their new EP. This will be the first official new release since 2002. The band has taken a turn back towards more old school punk/thrash sound as found on their early albums. It’s much welcomed in this scene of jaded cynicism and a certain sort of safe complacency. Bring back the hard charging passionate songs of years past! This season is ripe for change. The band recently played Take Hold Fest and a show with Project 86 last night. The band features Wiley Willis (Vocals), Bryan Gray (Guitars), Sid Duffour (Bass), and Jim Chaffin (Drums).… Continued →
