Two decades after the Sex Pistols and the Ramones shocked the music work with their turbo-charged punk rock, Blanks 77, have shown that the musical genre is not solely an artifact from the past. With the screaming vocals of Mike Blank and the barbed-wire sounds of Renee Wasted's electric guitar soaring over the slamming rhythms of bassist Timm "T. J." Blank and drummer Chad 10 Seconds, the Quincy, Massachusetts-based band create a supersonic, anything goes, punk-inspired, sound of their own. According to "The CMJ-NMR Review", Blanks 77 "specialize in the pure punk style of '77 but with no socio-political agenda". Blanks 77 was conceived by vocalist Mike Blank and drummer Chad 10 Seconds during jam sessions at Quincy rock club, The Pipeline.

"Tattle-Tale" is what you are
always have friends to help you go far
people you don't know,
treat 'em all the same
bring up shit to ruin their names
[Chorus:]
Had to fuck 'em over
couldn't let 'em win
you're gonna burn
for this unforgivable sin
born into money your family's filthy rich
your powerful friends
got you into the government
now it's time to fuck the people
and the state
using all the lies and stories you create
[Chorus]
just like the lawyers
are the politicians and the cops
using their power
to do what they want
screw the poor
cuz they can't fight back
who'd believe a man
in a cardboard shack?
