Blowup
"I Saw God"

Released in 2003

Blowup was a band from New Jersey in the early 2000s led by Jon Leidersdorff who formed the band after years in the band Outcry.

This was one of my favorite songs of the early 2000s. Sadly, I could not find it online.

Leidersdorff is the owner of Lakehouse Studios in Asbury Park, New Jersey. He started the company in 2013.

I interview Jon Leidersdorff for my book, Beyond the Palace. The interview is available here
