Master Blaster will be releasing their Pass Out EP on Friday 16 June.
Auckland New Zealand 4 piece hardcore
punks Master Blaster formed in August 2015 and within a month, sticking to
their Do or Die ethos, had recorded and released their demo titled You
Suck, supported SNFU and toured Australia (including part of Poison City
Records Weekender Fest). Since their inception the band have played nonstop
around New Zealand, hitting the road with Melbourne metal punks High Tension,
Minneapolis thrashers In Defence, UK punk legends GBH, Byron Bay hardcore crew
Shackles and embarked on an Australian and European tour in mid 2016 with
Melbourne Fastcore Kings Hailgun that saw them play all around the continent
finishing up in the UK with Discharge and English Dogs.
On Friday 16th June 2017, Master Blaster will release their new EP Pass Out both digitally and on 7". The release follows on from 2016's Doomsdays 7", and their split 7" with Hailgun. The lead single from the new EP, To All My Friends is a song about how "we self medicate to escape shitty situations through drug and alcohol abuse, the title is a nod to Charles Bukowski."
Master Blaster will then tour Europe and the U.K. off the back this new release, seeing them perform over 20 dates in June and July - including Off The Radar Festival in Germany, Obscene Extreme Festival in Czech Republic as well as dates in the U.K with Deviated Instinct and Seven Crowns.
Master Blaster play fast, angry, direct music, their lyrics are honest and the pace relentless. They share their sound and energy with bands like Career Suicide, Black Flag and Obliterations.
"The breakneck track shows a understandable distain for mainstream media mouthpieces that speak out their ass." - undertheradar.co.nz
"Master Blaster’s self-titled demo was released back in 2015, and it barrelled past leaving a sonic fucking boom in its wake the band’s recent(ish) Doomsday EP features the exact same blink-or-you’ll–miss-it punk rock, and everything on the EP is delivered via hard-hitting and savage salvos." - sixnoises.com
