Blair Gun – There Are No Rival Clones Here

Today, San Diego-based punk band Blair Gun has announced the forthcoming release of their sophomore LP, There Are No Rival Clones Here–a timeless slice of transgression, confession, and self-expression–out June 7 via Enabler No. 6 Records and sonaBLAST!

Alongside today’s announcement, Blair Gun has released the first single, “The Thief,” which scraps together stories from the early wave of televangelist charlatans living in complete contradiction to the virtues that they preached.

Giving MAGNET Magazine the exclusive, vocalist and guitarist Joedin Morelock says “We took some inspiration from scenarios written about by Joan Didion in various essays. We trace through this narrative of The Thief chronologically, which is a lyrical style that we haven’t tried much of until now.”

Blair Gun features Joedin Morelock on vocals/guitar, Zach Cavor as lead guitarist, Jake Richter on drums, and Alyson Valdez as bassist and backup vocals. The garage band intentionally rejects self-destructive conformity, cynical brand-building in lieu of self-reliance, and the fruitless quest for simple solutions in a complex, interrogative world. You’ll hear strains of everything from Richard Hell and Elvis Costello to the Pixies and hometown heroes like Blink-182. They have influences, not idols. Rituals, not references.
