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.

I'm caught in a fuckin' time warp
the styles never changing the music
all sounds the same
what ever happened to
the punk rock of the past
well now here we are
to bring it back at last
[Chorus:]
here's to the spirit of ' 77
and havin' fun in a punk rock band
here's to the spirit of ' 77
and the punk rock of the past
everyone concerned about the fashion trends
but not me I don't ear those threads
the time for change has finally arrived
and now I know punk will survive
the old timers, they won't come around
but we don't need them to keep punk around
they don't remember the fun they used to have
they just don't care, well that's too bad
