BLACKMAIL - Classic Detroit Rock / Funk

BLACKMAIL serving up a Lethal Dose of Funk-Infested bluesy/hard rock from the motor city!!!.  The band formed in 2006 after a few informal basement jams on some Hendrix,U2 and Alice in Chains. Working up a set of original material the band set upon gigging hard and developing a local following. At the bands frequent Detroit area club appearances Ghettorock jams like Clown of life, 2lonely and Justify have crowds headbanging, dancing and moshin often within the same song. Blackmail is anchored by the "THUNDERING" Bass of Akmed ELshabazz and the "Hard Funk-Filled" drumming of Doug Austin. It lays a heavy groove for guitarist Mike Brooks to provide some Atomic Blues riffs.The Blackmail Groove is topped off with the Soulful and Charismatic Vocals of Frontman Kalonji Maayassa. The bands 1st CD has already had airplay on both of Detroit's top Rock Stations. The future is looking Bright for Blackmail and thier brand of Ghettorock. (as compiled on the bands website)
