Check out the track “Burn The Ships” from Blacktop Mojo, off their upcoming LP

March 8, 2017

We are only a couple days way from the release of Blacktop Mojo’s LP Burn The Ships. The LP is set to release this Friday, March 10th and can be pre-ordered through Bandcamp. The band comments on their title track, We all quit our jobs at about the same time to make this record and play as much as possible—that was our all in, no going back moment. It reminded me of a story we heard from the 1500s about a Spanish explorer that sailed to conquer a territory. Once they landed on the beach, he burned all the ships so all his men knew one thing was clear, there’s no going back. That’s what that song is about, and that’s the story of our lives at the point of the record being created.” – Blacktop Mojo You can take a listen to the title track here: This is one album that you will want to pick up! It is refreshing to hear such determination and rock n roll passion as in their music. Make [Read More]
