The
Blacklist was formed in 2006
by former music students from Florida Southern College in
Lakeland
,
Florida
. Its members, all veterans of the
Florida
music scene, envisioned an original modern hard rock sound
driven by churning riffs and overlaid with crystalline
harmonic soundscapes. The Blacklist’s influences range from classical and jazz, to
psychedelia and metal. The songs’ lyrical themes run from
dark to humorous. Drawing on the originality of its members,
the band is able to streamline this eclectic brew into a
heavy, but melodic style, free of pretense or limitations.
Vocalist Lisa
Zinser performed as part of the “Stars of Tomorrow”
showcase in the
Orlando
area before joining the rock act Electric Pilot. Brothers
Daniel and Jason Parker (guitarist and bassist, respectively,
as well as vocalists) and Colby Beck (drums) were also members
of Electric Pilot. Zinser and the Parker brothers reunited to
play several acoustic shows under the name The
Blacklist, before adding Beck and guitarist Anthony
Flanagan to complete the full rock band. The positive
chemistry could be felt by all of the members in the first few
rehearsals and the prospects for The
Blacklist seemed promising.
