THE BLACKLiST (Are Dead)

Raw Vision!

About Me

We are The Blacklist "A raw blues-flavoured melting pot of sound" emerging from the Heart of the British countryside.
Hereford to be precise. We are a mixture of many genres including,
BLUES, FUNK, ROCK,and PUNK!
Cutting rhythms with enchanting melodies, topped off with hot lyrics,
it should just makes you wanna dance. So dance! Come and see us, it might change your life. It might not, but ain’t it worth the risk?! Yes we're young, yes we're new, but we're here to stay.
We’ve played many gigs in our short existance most notably with Birmingham’s ‘Big Bang’ Who NME named "The Best Unsigned Band in Birmingham"
we've also had the pleasure of playing along side these big names: Eight Legs,
Pencil Toes, Big Nothing, Rupert and the Robbers, Stone Holy, The Cafe Club, Dandelion Killers, Mars Bonfire, Super Fred Seven, Downer, Cold Shot Trio, She's a Kamakaza Machine, Paper House, Decora, Tastyhead, Autopilots, The Anomalies, Smoke Stack, Sketchbeat, Brandon Steep, Frantik, Luke Leighfield, Sam Isaac, Moonbow and Flat pack heroes.
we hope to expand to play shows outside of Herefordshire in 2007. We have also enjoyed radio play in the form of
The Friday Session
on
BBC Hereford & Worcester.
