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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best described as \u201ca trip through the desert on acid,\u201d 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blaze Francisco\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Blaze Francisco<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only beginning their career a few years ago, Blaze Francisco has quickly gained momentum in the alternative rock world, playing with touring names like The Red JumpsuIt Apparatus, Alien Ant Farm,&nbsp; Orgy, Jakob Nowell of Sublime, The Sweet, <strong>The Meteors (on 3\/7\/24), and Guttermouth (on 5\/23\/24).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With influences ranging from Queens of the Stone Age, The Hives, Turnstile, Nine Inch Nails, Tame Impala, Rage Against the Machine, Arctic Monkeys and Rob Zombie, Blaze Francisco pioneers a new sound in rock and roll, that pays homage to so many artists we all know and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to starting Blaze Francisco, founder Alex had a career as an actor and comedian appearing on national television, in multiple national commercials, opening for national touring comedians and even had an appearance in the 2019 Nice Jewish Guys Calendar as Mr. August.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>For more information on Blaze Francisco, please visit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raquelfiglo.com\/so\/40OtMWcM9\/c?w=QcGJy7IPJ7AgyMzw626Ge4IJRVzSgHIjWbnJtaQ7Pmw.eyJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9ibGF6ZWNpc2NvLz9pZ3NoPVpHTmpPV1prWVRFM01RJTNEJTNEIiwiciI6ImFkYzE0NTY0LWJhODItNDg4NS1iYWU3LTdiYWVjNGNkNjFlYyIsIm0iOiJtYWlsIiwiYyI6ImQ0YzJjNzQ5LTg2ODQtNGUzYi04NTgxLTI4NzE1NjRmZDFhZSJ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raquelfiglo.com\/so\/40OtMWcM9\/c?w=6RIzFdO-ED9jN42bl39wcB41v0ew3rrKNlTL3f9c5i4.eyJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FydGlzdC8yVnJZYmtXamFFM1kwdkcxVzlQV2Z0P3NpPTA1ZGYzMzgzM2ExZjQ0Y2QiLCJyIjoiYWRjMTQ1NjQtYmE4Mi00ODg1LWJhZTctN2JhZWM0Y2Q2MWVjIiwibSI6Im1haWwiLCJjIjoiZDRjMmM3NDktODY4NC00ZTNiLTg1ODEtMjg3MTU2NGZkMWFlIn0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raquelfiglo.com\/so\/40OtMWcM9\/c?w=dXR6isGnWQp9uGvg13ZhJ8q4zTSRO9tQAEy7Mqhwl3E.eyJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9tLmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9wL0JsYXplLUZyYW5jaXNjby0xMDAwNTQwMjUzNTcwODcvIiwiciI6ImFkYzE0NTY0LWJhODItNDg4NS1iYWU3LTdiYWVjNGNkNjFlYyIsIm0iOiJtYWlsIiwiYyI6ImQ0YzJjNzQ5LTg2ODQtNGUzYi04NTgxLTI4NzE1NjRmZDFhZSJ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAll I want is for people to hear the music.
