Cockblockers hail from Kalamata, Greece. They were formed in the (very hot) summer of 2011.
Through trial and error, they came up with the lineup that would allow them to take the next step, record their debut album.
While composing and pre-producing it, they took short breaks here and there, to share the stage with many a great bands from the Greek scene. Amongst them where, Planet of Zeus, 1000mods, Tardive Dyskinesia, Mahakala, Yellow Devil Sauce & Beggars, just to name a few.
The recordings for their debut ended early in 2017, and the album came to fruition at the end of the same year.

The whole album is dedicated to a close friend of the band,
