He captures the true essence of the band. Like Tony, <strong>Blacklist Union<\/strong> delivers crushing grooves that shatter the norm. West\u2019s vocals discharge melodic fire while the band\u2019s guitar riffs distribute chunks of galvanized energy. <strong>Blacklist Union <\/strong>powers through a pulverizing sound yet still remain brazenly accessible. Every song is an avalanche of dynamic songwriting.<strong> Blacklist Union<\/strong> is currently in the studio working on their sixth full length entitled <em>Slay the Dragon<\/em>. In the meantime, they have released a new single, \u201cMississippi Moonhound\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cMississippi Moonhound\u201d is a swampfest of crushing rock &amp; roll. The cadence reminds one of an out of control freight train. West\u2019s vocals are scorching. The guitar riffs are full of divine tension while the backbeat lets out sonic explosives. The entire song bristles with ferocious inflections and bold statements. \u201cMississippi Moonhound\u201d is an aggressive banger of a track. Try to sit still while the tune cascades through your soul. Can\u2019t be done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Blacklist Union <\/strong>is comprised of Tony West (Lead Vocals), Raf Ransom (Lead Guitar), Dee Hayes (Rhythm Guitar), Larry Harwood (Bass) and Justin Perez (Drums). West states: \u201c<em>I formed<strong> Blacklist Union <\/strong>because I wanted to play music that I wanted to hear, and we put out the first<strong> Blacklist Union <\/strong>record, After the Mourning, in 2006. The band\u2019s name comes from getting the best musicians with the worst reputations in town. With a shamanistic blend of Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N\u2019 Roses, Warrior Soul, The Cult, and Mother Love Bone\u2026<strong> Blacklist Union <\/strong>was born.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Tony West was kind enough to sit with AMP for this cool conversion.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blacklist Union - Mississippi Moonhound (Official Video)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AnTf0fRTx2s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: Can you give us a brief background of the band?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY:<\/strong> We formed in 2005. Our first record came out in 2006. <em>Slay the Dragon<\/em> will be our sixth full length. My songwriter partner, who you may know since you\u2019re from NYC, was Todd Youth. We wrote the <em>Back To Momo<\/em> album together. When he passed away, for a while I didn\u2019t know what to do with myself. I knew he would of wanted me to carry on. Todd had other bands and projects but we had a special friendship and writing relationship. I wrote the last two albums with our producer, Christopher Johnson. He knows both my voice and writing style better than anyone. the last few years have been very rewarding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: What is the band\u2019s creative process like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY:<\/strong> I hear music and then I write melodies to it. I have a plateia of lyrics that I can choose from. Usually, it starts with the music. Then I add the melodies and lyrics. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: As myself, you were born in the Bronx and was influenced by bands like the Ramones and The Dictators. Do you feel that your New York state of mind influences your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY:<\/strong> Oh man, yeah! I wasn\u2019t too up on The Dictators but I knew of them and Handsome Dick. I believe he owned a bar on the Lower East Side. But the NYC thing is a major influence. I grew up on those streets. I\u2019m from the Bronx and I went to high school in Yonkers. I was hanging out in Manhattan every chance I could. When Thompson Square Park wasn\u2019t even a thing, I was there. I was totally into the hardcore scene and the NYC downtown music community. It shaped my life. I came to LA as a teenager thinking this was the place to be but I probably should have stayed in NY.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: Your new single \u201cMississippi Moonhound\u201d is a swampy winger. Can you give us a little insight into the track?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY:<\/strong> After Todd died, I started travelling to the Amazon jungle in Peru visiting the Shipibo Indians and doing Ayahuasca. I began healing myself and my soul. This gave me insights into my last two records. \u201cMississippi Moonhound\u201d is actually about me and my observations on life. The funny part is that the title came from an episode of Sanford And Son I was watching. The phrase definitely caught my attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: Do you feel your upcoming album<em> Slay the Dragon<\/em> is an evolution in musical style from your previous material?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY:<\/strong> As a human, if you are not evolving, you\u2019re doing something wrong. To remain stagnant and living in the same space is not a good thing. Our sound definitely evolves with each subsequent record. We try to raise the bar every time we are in the studio. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: You\u2019ve collaborated with some top tier talent. Who would be your ideal collab?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY: <\/strong>I would love to work with the guys from Soundgarden. I was in the running for the STP gig. Dean Deleo\u2019s guitar tone and their songwriting are really superb. STP knows how to get into a hook and out of a hook perfectly. They are truly craftsmen of song. Euroboy (Knut Schreiner) of Turbonegro would be a blast. In addition, I would love to work with any of the \u201cGuns\u201d guys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: What do you hope your listeners take away from your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY:<\/strong> Hope, inspiration and healing. When I was a kid, I was so inspired by music and its poignant lyrics. Today\u2019s music seems so vapid. My daughter plays me stuff and a lot of the times I\u2019m thinking \u201cwhat the fuck.\u201d. You\u2019re twelve and you are listening to this. There seems to be no healing or positive messaging in the popular scene today. In the days of Zeppelin and Mother Love Bone (who happen to be one of my early influences), there was some element of spirituality and love that\u2019s kind of missing in today\u2019s music. They\u2019ve dumb down music and society as a whole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: If you could change anything in the music industry, what would it be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY: <\/strong>The industry is just ruthless. They\u2019ve forgotten about real rock &amp; roll, especially in the US. Some countries like the UK and Australia seem to appreciate music a little better. We break better and harder overseas. I would like to have a real record industry again. An industry that offers tour support and marketing help. I don\u2019t want to sign a deal just for bragging rights. We\u2019ve been offered those bullshit deals. What we are looking for a real partner in the business sense. All we want to is rock this shit with a company that is supportive and has some actual understanding of what rock &amp; roll can still be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: With the rise of social media, do you feel a band or artist has to constantly submit new content in order to remain relevant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY:<\/strong> My manager certainly feel that way! I\u2019m not a big fan of social media. It\u2019s just a necessary evil. As much as I don\u2019t condone the idea, it has become a crucial segment in today\u2019s music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>AMP: What\u2019s next for Blacklist Union?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>TONY: <\/strong>We are finishing up the new album. Also, we play two hometown show every year. One is coming up in July. We just did some dates with the Dead Boys. Looking at dates with Texas Hippie Coalition sometime this summer. We are continuing to carry the torch and raise the rock &amp; roll flag. <strong>Blacklist Union <\/strong>continues to march forward. We are rock &amp; roll soldiers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blacklist Union - Horns and Halos (Official Video)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ULBps5x8UfM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Dirty Halo&quot; by Blacklist Union Live\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5io6c1_TruM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Views: 959<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container mashsb-main mashsb-stretched\">\n                <\/aside>\n<p>            <!-- Share buttons by mashshare.net - Version: 4.0.47--><\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLACKLIST UNION \u2013 A COOL CONVERSATION WITH TONY WEST By Ralph Beauchamp Tony West of Blacklist Union is an energized frontman.
