São uma das principais bandas associadas à editora Wierd Records que tem como um dos fundadores o pintor Pieter Schoolwerth's. Os Blacklist são muitas vezes catalogados como uma banda post-punk revival mas a sua sonoridade é mais densa do que bandas como The Editors. Os membros dos Blacklist referem bandas que os influenciaram como Os The Sound, Wire, The Comsat Angels ou My Bloody Valentine.
De acordo com o vocalista/letrista Strawn:
«if you want to read my lyrics for the subtexts and hear us as a political band, you can certainly do that and you can practically get a reading list from our songs (Ibn Rushd, Omar Khayyam, George Orwell, Victor Serge, Arjun Appadurai, Ramin Jahanbegloo, Salman Rushdie, Slavoj Zizek, just to give you the short list). But if you just like the music, that works too. You don’t have to know who Akbar Ganji and Zakia Zaki are to appreciate ‘When Worlds Collide’ by us [...] it is form or melody that succeeds first–if the more thought out ideas and agendas work too, they are only able to do so because the rest is already in place and one’s appreciation of one shouldn’t condition too much your ability to appreciate the other. »
Álbuns:
«Midnight of the Century» (2009, Wierd Records)
EPs:
«Blacklist» (2006, self-released)
«Solidaire» (2007, Wierd Records)

Infelizmente não arranjei o link para o álbum deles «Midnight of the Century». Podem ouvir bastantes musicas deles no Myspace.
