Blue - "Blastpheme" (1986)

Don't know much about this Philly band. A guy at the great Philadelphia Record Exchange threw this cassette into my bag after one of my apalling spending sprees. Said judging from my purchases I'd like it (he was prolly in the band, eh?). And he was right. Sludgy dirges, rocking precariously on the verge of teetering over. I had the opportunity to see them about 5 years later at some dive in the Jersey boonies. They played in front of the pool table while bemused barflys looked on. I remember one guys name was Sharpie (how do you forget that?). And I remember they rocked the shit outta the place, the precariousness (which I like) by then replaced by a fierce tightness (which I also like). Got some 7''ers I'll try to post in the near future, as well.
