Blacktop Harrison

About Me



Formed in November 2007, Blacktop Harrison are rapidly developing a reputation for producing idiosyncratic, dynamic, thundering rock with strong hooks, a combination proving popular with critics.

The powerful and well-crafted material is interspersed with social commentary regarding the trials and contradictions of modern life, personal tales of introspection, and observational third person narrative often referencing deeper and darker underlying subtexts.

The band are currently promoting their eponymous debut album released on 24th June 2008 on the self-financed label M13 Records. In addition, new album 'No Direction, Semaphore' is planned for release 12th November.
