Blast From The Sun brings blues funk back home with their new award winning EP, ‘Blast In The Funk’. Growing radio exposure is creating a global fan base out of listeners intrigued by their original, tautly-composed tunes.

Canada may seem outwardly sedate to some - an environment little conducive to the plaintive or provocative modes of blues and funk - but you wouldn't know it by this Quebec-based band. 'Blast From the Sun' has all the surly energy of the Chili Peppers - and the staggering musicianship to go with it. Audit any of their songs (try 'News Flash') and you will be astonished at the almost geometric synchronicity of the group as it blazes through complex stops and tempo changes. They are tight in a way that only accrues to small, constantly performing outfits, and the result is a powerful reminder that better musicians make better music. It's hard to believe these guys have quite independently satisfied the tripartite major-label criteria of catchy composition, strong musicianship and competent production. This is one of the very best bands you'll hear in years - no exaggeration here - and they deserve a huge listenership among the discerning. Reporter Lily Clark recently caught up with the group's guitarist/singer Justin Guindon to learn more. LILY: When When did you first discover your love of music?
