User talk:The Black Tokens

Northern Irish upstarts The Black Tokens are a proper rock band. A band that writes proper ballsy rock tunes. With proper melodies. The way it should be.

Not afraid to put two fingers up to their counterparts who find it mandatory to toe the line musically and visually, they actually are in it for all the right reasons. The distinct, edgy garage-rock sound, coupled with a brawny, raw intensity, provides audiences with a dynamic sound that is missing from much of today’s new music. Think of them as your petulant little brother who refuses to leave you alone.

Last year was an industrious one for this band; their relentless gigging mentality moulded them into an amazingly accomplished live band, not afraid to flex its rippling musical muscles. This reputation resulted in the band being invited to support ASH on all three dates of their Irish tour.

Other performance highlights include playing support to BE YOUR OWN PET, THE BLACK LIPS, MILBURN, RACINE/Wendy James, DELORENTOS and FIGHTING WITH WIRE, a blistering performance at the 2007 Glasgowbury Festival, a much-coveted place at Ireland’s Hard Working Class Heroes Festival 2007, a headline slot at IMRO’s Showcase Tour 2007, as well as showcases across the pond in London and Glasgow.

Early ‘08 has seen what can only be described as a metamorphosis for the band. Not content with the feats accomplished throughout ‘07, they decided to hide themselves away to hone their writing, rehearsing, recording and production skills. This has resulted in a new kicking mature sound, which is ready to tear everyone a new one.

New relationships have been developed with other artists and producers all across the UK, Ireland and Europe, leading to a set of remixes to be released at the end of the summer 2008.

Armed with a brand new frontman, a new attitude, and most importantly a batch of raucous new songs - they’re coming to get you, if you don’t get to them first.
