WATCH BLACKLISTED LIVE – FIRST ON YOUR COMPUTER, THEN IN EUROPE
Blacklisted crept up on me at the tail end of 2009 with the surprise release of a then-vinyl only album called No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me. Noticeably more eclectic than its balls-to-the-wall predecessor Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God, that release was reissued a few months ago in CD format with a few bonus tracks. They’re approaching more Fucked Up sorta territory now, which I welcome since not enough hardcore bands demonstrate a willingness to experiment in the genre. You can get a taste of their current sound–which is still gritty as fuck–by watching the above footage of their set at this past March’s United Blood festival. If you’re one of the lucky sonsofbitches that scored a ticket to the sold out This Is Hardcore happening in Philly this past weekend, they played the fest this Sunday alongside the reunited Ink And Dagger, along with a ton of other killer bands. If you happen to reside in Europe, catch them live on their upcoming tour. Dates after the jump.
