New Jersey-based hard rock band who recorded an eponymous album for Epic Records in 1970. The drummer was Max Weinberg, later of The E Street Band.
"Noise proves nothing," Mark Twain once wrote, "often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid.
Blackstone, the young men who make their debut with this album, are destined to make a lot of noise in the music business, but not in the sense described above. After five months of intensive rehearsals in a New Jersey garage, they came to the studio and laid the asteroid contained herein.
It's an impressive beginning. Blackstone has revealed its mettle, they've got what it takes and it's up to you to turn this asteroid into a star in the rock firmament.
