Dave drums on hardcore punk veterans tracks, alongside Black Flag bassist Chuck Dukowski

Dave Grohl takes part in the latest EP from hardcore punk outfit B’last! – the Foo Fighters mainman recorded drums and oversaw production of the two-track title.

He stood in for former Queens Of The Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo, who was busy with other commitments when sessions took place.

Bassist Nick Olivera, also ex-QOTSA, was also previously engaged, and was replaced by Black Flag’s Chuck Dukowski.

Grohl, who’s worked with Bl’ast! before, said in 2013: “They were the quintessential California hardcore band. They skated, they jammed, and they were like an explosion live.”

Original men Cliff Dinsmore and Mike Neider are currently working on a full-length album, to be released via Rise Records. The EP, For Those Who’s Graced The Fire, is on sale now.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
