Blastaways

Blastaways is a fresh blast of

rock 'n' roll straight outta Montclair, N.J. The band

features drummer Kevin March who's been in cool bands

like Shudder to Think, the Dambuilders, Guided by Voices

(need I go on?) giving the band its indie street cred.

Guitarist Ben St. Jacques, who, let's face it, just

wants everything he plays to sound as much like AC/DC as

possible (like that's a bad thing?). Vik, who's got

a thunderous bass, an ear for harmonies, and a heart of

(80's) metal. Vocalist Cecile Williams claims this is

her first band (but sings so damn good we're all pretty

sure she's lying). Second guitarist Chris Matthews

fattens the sound and gives the band yet another dose of

indie coolness (he was also a member of Shudder to Think).

These guys and gal play all the rock n' roll songs you

love--staying true their motto the whole time ... "When

all else fails, Do it Punk!"
