Blame Jesus

About Me

Formed under a blue moon in Flagstaff, AZ on July 29th, 2004. For the first two weeks, double rainbows could be seen over our rehearsal space...
Originally called "2 Hours of Bliss", we released 8 unofficial "albums" (3 live, 3 "studio", a demo, and a "best of") before going on indefinite hiatus in June, 2005, when 2 members (pregnant with twins!) relocated to the east.
All 8 of our albums are currently available for free download/streaming via Innovative Necrophilia Records (IN001-008).
Thank you for listening~
