Blue Luster

Blue Luster is the perfect blend of high-energy rock and fist pounding metal.  Based out of Indianapolis, Indiana, Blue Luster's music captures the ferocity of Iron Maiden, the catchiness of KISS, the riffage of Van Halen, and the melody of Led Zeppelin. On top of this, Blue Luster has a sound all their own that acts as a breath of fresh air in the seemingly stagnant current rock scene.
