Working up a set of original material the band set upon gigging hard and developing a local following. At the bands frequent Detroit area club apperances Ghettorock jams like Clown of life, 2lonely and Justify have crowds headbanging, dancing and moshin often within the same song. Blackmail is anchored by the "THUNDERING" Bass of Akmed ELshabazz and the "Hard Funk-Filled" drumming of Doug Austin.
