Black Powder County is everything the band's name suggests and more. They have an undoubtedly explosive modern rock feel, while returning to roots of the hard hitting, punchy, raw sounds made famous by bands like Aerosmith, AC/DC, Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Rose Tattoo. They have a sense of danger and that untamed beauty that was synonymous in bands like Guns n’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, and in Black Powder County’s opinion has been the sound and energy missing for far too long. Their explosive rock sound marks the spot for a new beginning and revitalization from a band of rock & roll brothers united by a unbridled desire & passion toward a suddenly brighter future.
Formed in early 2012 Black Powder County is entering its second year with a bang! The band has literally been there and back musically in that short time, and through dedication and perseverance this charged foursome has morphed into a well oiled, fast moving hard rock machine with an incredibly slick sound, the band has come out of it all as a durable and entertaining act in the area. Their Debut Album "The BPC Syndicate", is available now and it is an electrifying compilation of their rock roots with the irresistible guitar riffs, and life relating lyrics. The band has reached new heights, both artistically and commercially, so be watching closely as this band is on the rise. Are you ready for Black Powder County's explosive sound?
“We're all looking for a same thing, and after years of playing the pub/club cover scene with other bands, we each needed to scratch that itch of creating our own music, but that meant getting the right group together to achieve that goal. And that happened when we finally found one another and it was an instant click, like a Black Powder explosion" explains the group's lead guitarist "Decoy" who is a transplant here from Australia.
"We were looking to get back that same feeling we had when we all first started making music, which was writing and creating our own sound to share, and capturing that elusive feeling of success along the way, and of course the pure joy of making music that people can relate to in one way or another".
