English Punks Ian England and Johnny F formed Blunt in September 2006 with the main aim of re-introducing Californian Punks to what seemed to them long forgot and even rarely played, proper English Street Punk.
So Johnny got on the blower and secured the services of his long time drummer mate Ringo Fandango, and Ian bumped into Skid Mark at a UK Subs gig in LA and invited them both to a rehearsal. It clicked straight away, so after a few more rehearsals and coming up with about 10 tunes, they were ready to hit the rock 'n' roll road to free sex and drugs, hopeing at least one out of the two would do !
In January 2007 a mini-tour of California and Nevada was played along with The Negatives from Bradford UK, and The Objex from Las Vegas as well as some other local Los Angeles bands.Blunt's first live performance was at the Fat Liver Tavern in Lomita, CA, and other venues played were in Downtown Los Angeles at The Airliner and at The Cocaine, along with The Brokeass Cantina (twice) and Khoury's in Long Beach, along with Las Vegas's famous Double Down Saloon, and then The Anarchy Library in Downey, CA.
Blunt always receive great feedback from punks and skins of all ages, and have started to built an ever increasing fanbase from all over California.
Unfortunately, early in 2008 and due to his work committments Skid Mark found it increasingly difficult to rehearse and play with the band. Therefore, to continue the journey (remember that road we were traveling on ?) an extensive search went out for a new guitarist. The Mad Brit fitted the bill perfectly and was invited to join Blunt.

We are looking forward to rehearsals this Sunday in Reseda. We are hoping to to do our NEW set and spend a little extra time on two tracks - 'Bonehead' and 'Maggie Thatcher RIP' both of which we are hoping will be awesome 'live'. We are also meeting up with a film director and cameraman who are very interested in putting something together for 'Don't Kill For Me'.
We already have 4 new tracks for the second album and also 4 new ones that we have to work on - but at the moment we are going to be concentrating on getting the set right for our upcomming gigs.
We are offering the chance to any fans out there who would like to come to one of our rehearsal sessions the chance to see us in the studio. Anybody out there who is interested in comming on Suday, drop us a line (ian_england@msn.com) and we'll reserve a seat for you.
