Blaster the Rocketman

With the exception of a few greats, Christian music boasts a hodgepodge of musical genres that do nothing more than mimic what the world is currently doing. But occasionally a band rises to show that we are a "peculiar people" and Blaster the Rocketman is indeed a peculiar group. Although reviewers and fans alike have often compared Blaster to the Dead Kennedys and the Dickies, there really isn't a band that one can compare these guys to adequately.

With the exception of a few greats, Christian music boasts a hodgepodge of musical genres that do nothing more than mimic what the world is currently doing. But occasionally a band rises to show that we are a "peculiar people" and Blaster the Rocketman is indeed a peculiar group. Although reviewers and fans alike have often compared Blaster to the Dead Kennedys and the Dickies, there really isn't a band that one can compare these guys to adequately. One can hear influences of the Dead Kennedys, but these guys have stated in interview after interview that they rarely listened to the Dead Kennedys or the Dickies.

Their music is too profound and far too creative for that. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL..
