The Blamed

Technically, the Blamed are thought of as a Punk band because they can rush through three-chord madness with all the speed and agility of a band comprised of pogoing aficionadoes. The term is a bit misleading though, since they spend most of their time playing mid-tempo -- albeit excitable -- music with more variance in sound and technique than your standard pop-craving punks can muster. They even offer a dreamy, hazy song now and again. The Blamed can obviously handle their instruments, and they never shy away from covering their issues as Christians when need arises.
