DAVE & PHIL ALVIN
In late ’79, Dave and Phil Alvin founded this little SoCal band called the Blasters, providing a welcome roots-rockabilly alternative to the dead-ending L.A. hardcore scene. (Dave joined X when he tired of it — but the Alvins were at each other’s throats anyway). Now, for the first time in 30 years, they’ve recorded together again, united by their love of Big Bill Broonzy, who influenced them to form the Blasters in the first place. Full circle time.
