| Between
a vast array of guitar licks, bass lines made of pure testosterone, hard
hitting drums, and vocal lines/melodies bordering on brilliance, it’s fairly
safe to say that Black Days Down, a quickly up and coming hard rock band
from Minneapolis, Minnesota, will soon be a force to reckon with. The band
started out with guitarist Andy Reyerson’s driving to create something
original in an already flurishing hard rock in industry. After a few previous
tries with some less-than-perfect members, vocalist Brad Whelan’s demo
tracks were heard. The two instantly spotted potential within their abilities
to create art that the masses could enjoy. Not long after, Drummer Mike
Krumm joined the equation when percussion was needed for one of the bands
demo recording sessions. A few months had passed, more and more tracks
were finished and after a long search for a bass player, Kyle Glidden magically
appeared, supplying the low end and business savy mind the band needed.
The
guys are hoping to turn people onto riff-based hard rock again in an age
lacking substance and arrangement. The band is currently very young in
their existence, but is creating quite a stir.
With
a Midwest spring break tour being booked as we speak, and a host of shows
in the greater Twin Cities area, the band is coming up faster than they
could’ve imagined, and are very anxious to hit the road. Currently in the
writing/recording stage, they are definitely breaking a few trends in today’s
scene. With every song getting better and better, this band is only going
to be getting bigger. Be sure to keep your eyes out for an album in the
near future that you can’t help but bang your head to. |
