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.

They're mounting on the front lines
stuggles going on between black and white
don't blame me for enslavery
it's time to choose your enemy
[chrous:]
tensions tensions
are you the exception
tensions tensions
they don't pay attention
I've got the freedom doin' what I choose
but it's only guaranteed when it's not in use
two wrongs do make a right
it's time to put up a fight
[Chorus]
I work all day slavin' for the few
you get off tellin' me what you do
these chains are pullin' me down
gotta get out before I drown
