Tomorrow Waits For No One – Blackstone Heist Tomorrow Waits For No One – Blackstone Heist

Products of the “year of global financial panic” aka 2008, Blackstone Heist is a band full of talent whose only aim is to gain fulfillment through sharing their craft with anyone who’s willing to listen.  Hailing from San Francisco, this band is composed of four musicians who act as one. They refuse to refer to themselves as individuals within the band, calling themselves a “constellation of musical personalities,” not a “single star[s].”

Blackstone Heist takes pride in their musical knowledge and the variety of chords in each of their songs. The Fight I’ve Never Won, a track off their debut, self-titled EP contains 11 chords and quick successions of multiple key shifts.  As for their sound, they’re definitely straight rock, with hints of Led Zepplin influence and other classic rockers. Their tunes are a little bit dreamy, but not quite psychedelic status. My only real complaint is that their songs are little lengthy, but since they’re pretty mellow pieces, it’s almost expected.

Their lead single off their debut, Tomorrow Waits for No One begins with the simple strumming of a guitar feeding into minimal drums and a slow, steady vocal performance and picks up towards the chorus and gives off a very top 20 feel—in a good way.

This is a band looking to win over hearts and follow in the footsteps of greats such as the Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin and Jimi Hendrix, and if they keep up the commitment and honing of their craft, they just might accomplish these feats.
