Artist description This three piece power trio (with Skot on vocals, Christian on guitar, and Ferdinand on drums) hails from Los Angeles, California. They’ve been playing together for almost 4 years now, and describe themselves as an "anti-melody" band, probably because the drummer and the guitarist lock themselves into ruthless, rhythm-heavy grooves. Their live performances are well known for being extremely tight, powerful, and unique. The sole guitar player flanks the stage with two 100-watt half stacks that provide for an interesting blast of sonic intensity, while the drummer relentlessly pounds out his frenetic beats. The vocalist then jabs his way around these syncopated, complex compositions of noise with his caustic brand of storytelling. 400 Blows have just completed their long awaited and much anticipated full length studio album entitled Black Rainbow, available now on REHASH RECORDS LLC. Not exactly anything you’d expect. Simply a distinctive fusion of power, rhythm, and energy. This is 400 Blows.
