Ear Candy
Online Music Magazine has just reviewed our CD - also please check out their
website for our interview
Back In
Black,"Back In Black" (Indie
Release)
BACK IN BLACK is an AC/DC
tribute band with balls! Why you ask? Well, to put six band originals alongside
two AC/DC classics on a CD - you’ve gotta be pretty
damn sure of yourself. But BACK IN BLACK pulls it off, creating an audio
illusion of a POWERAGE-era AC/DC fronted by Brian Johnson. Although the musical
style of the band is reminiscent of the whole album catalogue of AC/DC (HIGH
VOLTAGE, POWERAGE, HIGHWAY TO HELL, BACK IN BLACK, FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK,
etc) in both songwriting and performance, the vocals are closer to Brian
Johnson than Bon Scott. And that's fine with me - although I prefer the Bon
Scott-era band, the songs are still effective (plus, not many can pull off
Brian Johnson-like vocals). If someone had given me disc and told me it was
AC/DC outtakes or unreleased songs I would have believed it - these guys are
that good!
Although superfluous,
the inclusion of "Money Honey" and "Back in Black" show
that this band has the AC/DC sound down to an art.

Back Black doing their own thing -- finally
By Malcolm Mayhew
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
Not many cover bands put out original records, but not many cover bands have
stirred up such a following and fuss as Back in Black, a Dallas-based AC/DC
tribute band that pops up at nearly every event sponsored by 93.3 FM "The
Bone."
Which is fine. That's the group's core audience. Said
audience is what inspired the group to get in the studio and not just keep
stealing from AC/DC.
"We've been doing this for three years, and during that time, we've met
all these great fans who say they want to hear new material from us," says
guitarist Mike Mroz, who plays the role of Angus Young. "They say, 'There's
nothing good out there.' "
So the group banged out an eight-song, self-titled disc comprising six
originals and, of course, two AC/DC covers, Back in Black and Money Honey.
They're throwing a release party for it Saturday at R.J.'s Roadhouse in the
Stockyards.
The six originals are steeped in '70s-era AC/DC, Mroz says. "Mix that
sound with Jet, and that's what people are saying it sounds like. That's a
niche in music that needs to be filled right now."
1.31.2005
Yet another great show at RJ's Roadhouse. We wanna personally thank Ronnie and his awesome wife for
having us out there for a rockin time. Special thanks to Company V for startin
the night out right!!! Man! You gotta hear these
guys! Heard some of my favorite Iron Maiden, Rush, and Journey tunes in the
next room and I thought they just had a CD player cranked up real loud! Totally amazing. Looking forward to
playing with them again. Didn't get to meet Ted Nugent liked I'd hoped
but thats all good, I'm sure
he had plenty of things to do. Glad shooting me with a bow and arrow wasn't one
of them! Anyway, it'll be a while before we see you again rockers. Next time is
Feb. 12th back at Firewater. Hope to see you all then!
1.21.2005
Our New CD has been officially launched! The release party was incredible,
we packed the Firewater! Special thanks to Billy Hayes
, The BIG Bone Morning Crew and Scott Strong for having us on and
playing three of our new original songs. We would also like to
thank Russ Martin for playing our CD last week, we’re
very excited to participate in his new movie project. We even heard that
The Hardline also
played Drop the Bomb, thanks guys. The CD will be available for
sale at all of our shows and can now be ordered online. Please go to our merchandise page for
more details. We should have some great new photos courtesy of Andrew Dieb at Crystal Clear Media posted soon. We’ll see
you on Jan 29th at RJ’s Roadhouse for the Ted Nugent After Party.
1.14.2005
Be sure to checkout our new mp3’s in our Media section!!! Back in Black and Money Honey sound totally kick
ass. We’ve also posted a couple of our new original songs from our upcoming
CD. We’re still on for the CD release party/show next Friday the 21st
and then at RJ’s Roadhouse on the 29th for the after party show for
the Ted Nugent concert at Billy Bob’s. These will be killer shows, so see you
there!
1.3.2005
Happy New Year! Well, we all made it yet another year. Hope everyone had a good
time over the holidays. Now its down to business! We
got two great shows this month: the official Back in Black CD release party at
Firewater on the 21st and then we’re playing at RJ’s Roadhouse on
the 29th RIGHT AFTER Ted Nugent gets off stage across the street at
Billy Bob’s! My senses and sources tell me that Nugent’s an AC/DC fan, so
there’s a good chance he may show up! Who knows!
12.12.2004
Firewater was a good show! That's the very first time the canon on For Those About to Rock was as loud and bassy
as it needs to be! About time someone got it right! Very special thanks to the
Crystal Clear Media and BodyBoom video crews. You
guys were awesome. Anyways, no shows for a while I think, not for the rest of
this month anyway. Be sure to check out Back in Black's original side project
band and their new single Drop The Bomb. Click here to download the mp3.
