What You May Have Missed: Blackbells at Mercury Lounge

Blackbells: October12 @ Mercury Lounge, New York, NY

Last month I went down to Mercury Lounge to catch Brooklyn based band the Blackbells. Their new EP, IxI had been released the previous day so it was time to celebrate it! The audience was lively; they came ready to party. The Blackbells were excellent hosts with their all up in your ears, face melting rock 'n' roll. It's always a pleasure to have your face melted ... thank you fellas.

If you haven't picked up the EP, you should! If you missed the show, this is what it looked like!

Upcoming: Blackbells at Mercury Lounge, 10/12

New York, Brooklyn's Blackbells are celebrating the release of the new EP IxI which will be released on October 11 and is available for pre-order now. They'll be on the LES at Mercury Lounge on Wednesday, October 12. It's the early show, doors are at 6:45PM.

This new collection of songs features a more mature, refined sound for Blackbells, and sees the band structuring dense, layered guitars awash with reverb against heavy driving rhythms and cavalier vocals. The musical progression and growth between Blackbells’ first eponymous EP and IxI is obvious— showcasing an open-mindedness that gives way to a supersonic powerhouse of a release.
