Former RACER X Vocalist JEFF MARTIN Talks DIO, JUDAS PRIEST, RED DRAGON CARTEL And New Band BLASTED TO STATIC In New In-Depth Interview

Totally Driven Radio, the weekly radio podcast heard live every Thursday night from 8:00pm - 11:00pm EST on the Totally Driven Entertainment Radio Network, hosted by Bay Ragni and Nick Wilkinson covers the world of sports and entertainment each week, as well as bringing you celebrity guests interviews.

TDR: "This week we talked to Jeff Martin, former drummer of Badlands, former lead singer of Racer-X, and current lead singer of Blasted To Static. We talked to Jeff about s tarting out as drummer, and becoming a singer, Racer X, Paul Gilbert, touring with Dio for two months, Judas Priest, if Jake E. Lee has ever contacted him to play in Red Dragon Cartel, and Blasted To Static. Jeff hangs out for around 50 minutes, and talks all these topics and more!"
 

Blasted To Static delivers a cutting-edge offering that is both refreshingly new, and re-imagines the hallmarks of 80’s guitar histrionics as a sonic hurricane that will blow the roof off.

Headed up by the incendiary vocals of Jeff Martin (Racer X, Badlands, Leatherwolf, Surgical Steel) and fret-melting wizardry of Stu Marshall (Death Dealer, Empires Of Eden, ex-Dungeon), with the rhythmic talents of Rev Jones (Steelheart, MSG, Black Symphony) on bass and session demigod Clay T on drums, Blasted To Static represents an uncompromising and intense odyssey from veterans of the metal scene.

But for all the high-octane, hook-laden riffing mayhem, the band’s versatility also encompasses acoustic elements and more subtle, understated interludes.

“We’re embracing an organic approach with this band,” says guitarist Stu Marshall. “Don’t expect music from a single genre, Blasted To Static is all about full artistic freedom, so you might even hear echoes of Black Sabbath or Queen.”

Dangerous, unstoppable and impossible to predict, this savage yet focused shock-and-awe campaign will make any jaded metal fan sit the fuck up and take notice. Shaking off the tired, formulaic monotony that many of us have become accustomed to, Blasted To Static blazes ahead into a golden future of guitar ripping rock.
