Roots-rockers/rockabilly exponents The Blasters managed to get themselves caught up in the diverse L.A. punk scene alongside old pals X, mainly thanks to an uncompromising attitude and a sound that remains as raw as chicken sushi. This compilation collates outtakes from the American Music, Non Fiction and Hard Line albums, plus two songs from the Streets of Fire movie soundtrack. Rare Blasts manages to prove that the tracks The Blasters were throwing to one side were better than most bands’ best takes.
