"Here is a long overdue re-mastered re-issue of Santa Cruz powerhouse BL'AST!'s third full-length. Known for heavyweight riffage and mind-boggling time signatures these cats always push the sound right to the edge and then tip the world over. Fierce resilience facing down bleak uncertainties. You need a reason to live and a will to survive? Never mind Tiny Desk, Take the MANIC RIDE!" --E.H.
About the Artist
Having formed in 1982, the highly influential Santa Cruz hardcore band BL'AST! released their first album, The Power of Expression in 1985. This debut album completely blew everyone away and went on to become one of the highly sought after, "must- have" hardcore albums from the 80s'. BL'AST! were beyond intense, continually pushing the boundaries of hardcore with their advanced musicianship, unstoppable energic delivery and explosive live performances. This overwhelming power caught the attention of SST records, who released the band's second album, It's In My Blood in 1987. Their third album Take The Manic Ride, was then released in 1989.
