THE BLASTERS
PHIL ALVIN, DAVE ALVIN, BILL BATEMAN, JOHN BAZZ
The all-American roots music band the Blasters were principally brothers Dave and Phil Alvin,
whose first-hand experience with blues masters shaped their sound and turned them both
into contemporary singer/songwriters whose interest in roots rock has never waned.
The brothers, along with Bill Bateman on drums and John Bazz on bass, grew up
in Downey, California, in the shadow of Disneyland. Their musical education involved
hanging out with musicians like Lee Allen, Marcus Johnson, and T-Bone Walker, all
of whom tipped the band to the ways of blues and R&B. Ironically, by the time they
were ready to work in Los Angeles clubs, the punk rock explosion was in full swing,
and they found an audience for their rough-and-ready sound among the punks,
particularly fans of X, with whom they frequently shared the bill

Right from the beginning, with Dave Alvin's title song, the Blasters made their statement,
that basic rock & roll was as contemporary in 1980 as it had been in the mid-'50s.
The other 12 tracks, which mixed Dave and Phil Alvin originals with covers like
"I Wish You Would" and "Never No More Blues," reiterated the opening remark,
re-creating the feel of a biker bar after a couple of tall ones. Actually, the Blasters
didn't have much to say beyond this record, of which only a couple of thousand copies were pressed,
but they went on to a few years with Warner Bros....(AllMusic)
