"Like a CNN for disaffected suburban punks." Good old fashioned melodic speed punk featuring pop hooks & crunchy

melodies with middle finger attitude and a hint of tongue in cheek sarcasm. A punk rock gumbo repertoire that

blends in high speed tempos, haunting melodies, & pop hooks.

The Blameshifters are a band that performs high energy punk rock sets and have

extensively toured the west coast. They released their debut album, "Feast before the

Famine", (which was independently recorded and released) in 2005 and their second, "Disenfranchised

Anarchist", was again, independently recorded and released in late 2007. They have also been featured on several

international compilations

The Blameshifters's" latest cd, "Disenfranchised Anarchist", was inspired by a speech made by Howard Dean during

the 2004 Presidential campaigns to the DNC, "When you corrupt the process of elections you're not going to get anyone on

your side, you're just going to create another generation of disenfranchised Anarchists."

The Blameshifters featuring Pigman on bass, Mat Loman on guitar/vocals & Steveness on drums captured the cynical

feeling that they, as a group, had envisioned for these songs. The band is hailed as one of the most reliable

bands on the Northern California punk scene & has been writing, recording & performing together since 2003.
