While you are reading this, hurry up! Blacklist Union will not be an Indie band for long. Dirty, hard and melodic songs scream inspiration from legendary 80’s and 90’s bands. Mixed with a hard alternative side, the band’s recent 3rd full length album, Til Death Do Us Part, has once again pushed them closer to Rock super stardom. The album, which was written by members of the renowned bands Saliva and CRAZYTOWN, has gained them global and national success, sending them on several national tours and securing a dedicated fan base from around the world. Since forming in 2004 by front man Tony West, Blacklist Union has accomplished a lot, but is just at the beginning of a Rock N’ Roll journey that will take them to places most people didn’t even know existed. With the buzz stirring around this Los Angeles based band, RockRevolt Magazine is proud to call them our Indie Band of the Week.
Watch “Game Over”

The music is raw and the riffs are real. Vocalist Tony West captures aspects of life from everybody’s perspective, touching on themes such as being locked up, romance, addictions, life and death, friendship, and much more. Every song has a mood, a message, and meaning. The music reminds us of the raw lighter side of Alice in Chains, but with a modern take on melodic hard rock guitar and vocals made famous by Buckcherry. The rhythm section is tight, focusing on a tight groove that will lead you to succumb to the music, and have you singing every word. Tony West’s weapon is his pen, and he’s got a lot to say, and shows no sign of slowing down. It will not be long before they explode, and more people around the world take part in the revolution that is Blacklist Union.
