About Me

Blackcoin enjoys the challenge of melting your insides and forcing your body to contort in as many different ways as possible. The sound is as energetic as ever and expanding more with every passing day.....they play a lot of thick karate based rock and experimental reggae, with their own uncatergorizable sound dominating it all whether in studio or at live shows.______________________________________________________ ________ "The music on the record shows all sides of the band's shifting personality." --Columbus Alive_______________________________________________________ _______ "Armed with an endless list of influences and an appetite for genre melding, Blackcoin brings its unclassifiable collage of sound to the world." -- The Post ____________________________________________________________ __ "As a collective unit, the band gives as much as they can to their audiences, and hopes for an enthusiastic response back, creating a cycle of giving and sharing between artist and audience." --The Athens News ____________________________________________________________ ___
