   About The Blacks
We give a fuck about an Oxford comma. That's who.



The Blacks new single Gravitas w/ Ammunition is available exclusively through RCRD LBL

The Blacks Album "Nom de Guerre" is available through Tricycle Records



"A couple handmade tattoos away from sounding like X covering Autolux." --RCRD LBL

"Like a love child of Karen O and The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Blacks really know how to rock a stage." -thebaybridged.com

"The BEST tambourine playing I've ever seen, period." --missionfreak.com

"Perhaps the real genius of the Blacks’ debut record is that it conveys subtle and sophisticated narratives in musical language that is utterly primal; this record is lusty, powerful, driven, and, at times, violent." -Coke Machine Glow

"Just imagine a female fronted piss'n'vinegar descendant of Jesus And Mary Chain, and you'll have some idea of where The Blacks are comin' from." -Aquarius Records

"Blacks' white-suited co-front man JDK Blacker preached the evils of monotony from his imaginary pulpit. One hand to the sky, the other forcefully shaking a tambourine to keep dull spirits at bay, he convulsed with the spastic energy of revered rock proselytizers such as Iggy Pop and Mick Jagger as he ordered the crowd to lose control. And it did. Amen." -SF Chronicle

"Like a misanthropic Patti Smith fronting Love and Rockets. Sexxxy!"– Charlie
