Hi, I'm Nobu and these are some of my favorite songs~a never ending mixtape. Dance, slam, chill...hell, click your fingers while kickin' back in the futon, if that's what you're into. And, YES, buy the music! Support the band! Liner notes, record jackets and smokey clubs ARE cool!

What's with the apostrophe?



Bl'ast!
Time To Think/Surf And Destroy
The Power Of Expression LP (buy)
Wishingwell/Roadrunner 1986

This has to be one of the most powerful hardcore LPs ever recorded, Bl'ast! out-Flag Greg Ginn and gang at times. Take the best of Black Flag/Corrosion Of Conformity/SSD and add the aggro of the mid 80s surf/skate scene...something like the The Power Of Expression will pop out.

This one opens side B:

Break It Down

This LP was later reissued on SST, of all labels and Bl'ast recorded a couple more for them before disbanding in the 90s. Seems that they played some reunion shows in 2001. More info here.
