ABOUT THE BLACK MOODS:
The Black Moods play raw, amplified rock & roll. A classic power trio for the modern world, they turn the genre’s timeless ingredient—electric guitar, anthemic hooks, and percussive punch—into a sound that’s both contemporary and climactic.

Born in the Arizona desert and reared on stages across North America, The Black Moods began building a national audience thanks to their relentless touring schedule, which found the Phoenix-based group sharing shows with Shinedown, Janes Addiction, 311, Godsmack, and Collective Soul to name a few. That audience rose to new heights with 2020’s Sunshine, an album whose combination of guitar-driven muscle and melody helped The Black Moods send four hit singles into the Top 40 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts.

Their journey continued with 2022’s Into The Night, recorded with Grammy-nomindated producer Johnny Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, Pop Evil)—who also produced Sunshine– which saw them achieve a fourth Top 40 Mainstream Rock Billboard hit single with “Saturday Night.” Along the way, The Black Moods appeared on festival stages including Aftershock and KUPD’s UFest, and even found time to cut a track with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones) and collaborate with The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger on a rendition of The Doors’ classic track “Roadhouse Blues” with guest vocals from rock singer-songwriter Diamante recorded at Krieger’s L.A. studio. The track and a music video featuring footage from the recording session were released in November 2023.
