This week we had in the studio The Blisterz who have an edgy blend of rock, punk and power pop. We classify them in the same category as the one for Blackcat Elliot: which, for this band, speaks volumes. The band is comprised of former members from Strawdogs and Absence of Malis who have both been around for many years. When playing live they have that loud, punk, pop sound that leaves you with the notion that the drummer loves his job. Case in point: when we had them in the studio to play the songs the levels on the drummer were off the scales. Vinny, the drummer, brought a snare and new brushes. So far everything was going as expected. When the first song started the poor nylon bristles on the brushes did all they could do to stay attached to their handle. Vinny was, and I am not using this term lightly, wailing on the snare. I can safely say that the brushes where new before we started because after, they were pretty much destroyed. Needless to say there was some extra work with the post production. In the end the songs came out great. Not to worry. Let me know what you think of the mix as the drum track was literally muted. Back to the music. The songs are catchy. They have simple lyrics in the chorus and are easy to sing along with the first time you hear them which are great for the song's longevity. The last song they played may be especially familiar. It's about the social life and an experience on My Space that started with a new friend request. Check out this episode and let us know what you think.
