Originally a four piece metal band title "A.D.D" , Blistered started off by breaking into their school music room at every opportunity just to jam out anything that sounded musical! Years later, the band has refined down to a solid heavy rock trio with an original EP and a stack of gigs under the belt. Guitarist Cody Savage and drummer KC Adair had been jamming out their favourite metal tunes for years, but it wasn't until they found bassist Ben Seeley that they knew they had something substantial. "KC and I have been playing for years" commented Savage. "we needed someone who could just be injected into the band. Ben definitely rose to the occasion."
In December 2005, the trio recorded their first EP in two days and with KC going away to university, the boys had to do something to keep the momentum. So in early 2006 Savage organised a local metal concert titled "Malice In The Alice" with the intention to both surface the huge Alice Springs Metal following and advertise the new recordings. "We had this demo...but no one knew who the band was! So I started the 'Malice' gig to keep the ball rolling, not only for our band but it was a great opportunity for the other local metal acts" Savage explained. Combining heavy metal and rock influences with localised political messages, Blistered wanted to retain a sincere attitude with the band but with a fun and energised live persona. "We like it heavy. But I didn't want us to become a knuckle-brain metal outfit. We do have messages in out tunes. And they are political. But it's what WE see. The issues that confront us, like, what happens in our streets. In our homes." Savage states. "But we want people to enjoy seeing us live too. The lyrics are our own but we encourage our listeners to get out of them what they can. But when it comes to our live shows, it's about letting lose. Moshing, screaming, jumping and having fun. A wrecking ball of energy!".
Currently, Blistered are writing new material for their debut album due out late this year and will be giging interstate.
Keep it heavy!
