Blaze Francisco, a rock band based out of Los Angeles, releases their new single titled “The Reaper” on February 23rd – a gritty, groovy, rock-fusion track that promises to blow audiences away as their first release in two years. Leading up to the release, Blaze Francisco played a show with Alien Ant Farm on January 10th, those who attended, were able to experience new music that is not available online, including their newest creation “The Reaper.”

“All I want is for people to hear the music. That’s what it’s all about. Anything else is a bonus.”  -Blaze Francisco 

“The Reaper” is an understated combination of acoustic alternative rock that transforms into a heavy-hitting, genre-bending rock anthem. With electronic twinges reminiscent of NIN, and classic rock elements comparable to Queens of the Stone Age, the track is a new take on modern rock and piques the interest of listeners by combining elements from many different genres.

Best described as “a trip through the desert on acid,” this new track takes us on a journey through love, pain, and the struggles we all face in coming to terms with the reality of life itself. Blaze Francisco has always pursued music for the right reasons, keeping themselves rooted in the magic of the craft, and this shines through in the artistry of this new release.

Blaze Francisco’s live performances continue to invigorate audiences across the country, and truly are the best way to experience this band. Be sure to check them out at the Whisky a Go Go on March 7th with The Meteors, on May 23rd with Guttermouth and for their first headlining show celebrating the release of their full length album in July.
