Why Eastblood is Ditched the Polish for a "Dirty" 80s Sound!

What happens when you take members of Exodus, Generation Kill, and the Dee Snider band and tell them to stop acting like professionals? Eastblood is the answer.

They aren’t just playing music; they are fighting the “supergroup” curse that usually kills projects before they start.
