Black River Delta release new song “Shakin”

November 5, 2020

Black River Delta, the swedish Alternative/Blues/Rock-band, reports back with their new single ‘Shakin’, which also comes with a brand new video: The song is available on all streaming platforms. You can also find it on the EA Sports NHL21 soundtrack. “Shakin’ arose from the desire to, with the help of two distorted guitars, tell the story of a man, who leaves everything behind to find his luck far away from home. Just to find out, that maybe he left it behind. Sort of a ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’-story, accompanied by fuzz-guitars and heavy drums. Black River Delta is an Alternative rockband from Bollnäs, Sweden. So far they released two studio records: “Devil On The Loose” (2016) and “Vol. II” (2018). The raw Blues-Rock-sound of the band is influenced by classic Blues legends like Robert Johnson, the raw style of R.L. Burnside and modern artists like The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr. and BRMC. Their ability to join old Blues with modern Rock led them to several tours through Europe and [Read More]

EXCLUSIVE: Get your fix of Rare Americans and their infectious new video for Two Lives

July 23, 2019

  Vancouver BC based alternative rock  band, Rare Americans are set to capture your attention. The alt rock band was started by brothers James and Jared Priestner. It started by brothers James and Jared Priestner taking a trip to the Caribbean in the spring of 2017. Having never written a song together, James thought it might be a fun vacation activity to do and suggest it to Jared. Being a big-thinker, Jared said “A song? Fuck that, why don’t we write an album?” They laughed in the moment but sure enough ten days later the first 15 Rare Americans songs were born. The band is rounded out by long-time collaborator and guitarist Lubo Ivan, who grew up in the sticks of Slovakia and finally just got his Canadian PR after two long years of battling the Canadian government. On bass is Jeff Quinn. When you take a listen, you would think the band had a long history of writing songs. They deliver music that brings to life stories enveloped in catchy tunes that are soon [Read More]
