Remember when “Rock†or “Hard Rock†was all the “genre†a band needed? Sometimes you have to get away from something, to realize it’s the right thing. After years of playing everything from metal to funk, longtime collaborators Ben White and Lizz Weiler (The Last Call Girls) began work on a new, more straightforward project in Spring, 2006. After recruiting a familiar face, in drummer Jon Lane (The Last Tyrant), and a newer one in J.C. Cirese (Lethe, This Building is Cursed), the band began cranking out songs, breaking sticks and straining necks.
The sound that resulted was exactly what they needed. “Rock.†Not “Post-anything,†not “anything-Core,†certainly not “Indie.†The band members had no intention of setting boundaries for themselves, but were even less interested in hopping on the latest trend. The Old Black played its first show in late October 2006, and played out extensively in '07. Early 2008 will bring more shows and more songs, a 4-song EP, and who knows what else. Keep your ears open and your heads banging.
