Bl'ast

Influential Hardcore Punk Band from California

Bl'ast is an American hardcore punk band formed in Santa Cruz, California in 1982. The band's style is characterized by a heavy, intense sound influenced by the hardcore punk movement of the early 1980s. They are known for their energetic performances and for being part of the thriving California punk scene. Bl'ast released several albums throughout the 1980s, with their most notable work being "The Power of Expression" in 1986, which gained them significant attention within the hardcore community. After a period of inactivity, Bl'ast returned to the music scene with reissues and have occasionally performed reunion shows. Their influence can be seen in the work of later hardcore and alternative bands, though they never achieved widespread commercial success. The albums "Take The Manic Ride" and "Blood!" are not among their most recognized works, and there may be some uncertainty regarding these specific titles without further information on their discography.
