BREAKING (UP) NEWS: BLADES DO THE SPLITS

HEY PASADENA! THERE ARE LIKE FOUR REALLY REALLY GOOD DUDES IN YOUR TOWN WITHOUT A BAND. No. We’re not talking about Cop Warmth (are there even four of them anymore? Does Bryan Jackson count?), were talking about the dudes formerly known as Blades. Details are as sketchy as an envelope found in the Numbers’ bathroom at this point, but our insider source is able to reveal that they recently moved out of their practice space and “some of them just got tired of it and wanted to do something different.” Something different that rock out the sweet jams? Further investigation is merited.

Blades came into their own last year with the release of the Skyline Network-acclaimed workout ep Who’s the Creampuff Now. Now that, their Grey Ghost release and the nearly floor shattering performance as the Foo Fighters at the Hootenanny are all that remains of what was once the most promising Houston instrumental rock band not named By The End of Tonight. We will miss their angular jocularism nearly as much as we will making up what their tite jams were about. Be well, oh former Blades, and start new bands soon.
