Following in the footsteps of Arizona-based artists the Gin Blossoms, Jimmy Eats World and The Meat Puppets, The Black Moods emerged from the desert with a repertoire that has a timeless, authentic sensibility. Singer Josh Kennedy, bassist Ryan Prier and drummer Chico Diaz have amassed a wealth of songs chock full off great melodies and a pure vintage attitude…which they deliver with effortless talent. The Black Moods are raw rock and roll, reminiscent of the way it was back in the day when everything had a little bit of tube growl sweating off vinyl LPs. They cite everyone from Tom Petty and the Foo Fighters to Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Who, and Clapton as influences, but never are they derivative ~ The Black Moods know exactly who they are, and that’s no-one but The Black Moods.
