The two-song single by The Blacks, a Franciso-based band, features JDK Blacker (aka Justin Kerr ’00) on tambourine, Gavin Black on drums, and Luisa Black on guitar and lead vocals. The single is available through www.rcrdlbl.com [1]. The band’s first album, Nom de Guerre, was released in 2008 through Tricycle Records (tricycle-records.com). In a review of Nom de Guerre, NPR.org wrote: “The Black’s ragged, gutsy sound … [capitalizes] on the perennial market for raw rock.” The CD “offers a minimalist approach fueled by equal doses of energy and verve. … The trio sticks to short, jagged, punkish tunes.”
