Legendary label Touch and Go has launched an e-card for their March 21st retrospective from midwest hardcore/noise merchants, Blight. The band, who briefly existed for a few years in the early 80s and included Steve Miller (guitar), Pat Clark (drums) and Mike Achtenberg (bass) and Tesco Vee, vocalist of the Meatmen.

The label describes the release:

Within the realms of hardcore music, Blight's stands as something unique. Sheets of wailing feedback wash over the proceedings unexpectedly mid-song. With the incessant, clanging industrial thud of Lansing as a soundtrack to their existence, the group was bound to sound industrial. Literally. Blight sounds like machinery set in motion. And appropriately, all the parts worked together in unison, a single unit moving forward. Punctuated only by the aforementioned wash of pure noise, or the electrified tones of Tesco's trumpet
