Daily electricity to load your batteries

4 December 2023

Band: CASTLE BLACK
Who: Brooklyn NY based rock/grunge/post-punk duo Leigh Celent and Joey Russo,
who sound much larger than what one might expect from a two-piece.

New single: BRIGHT-EYED
First single off their forthcoming debut album,
named The Highway At Night, out in May 2024.

TUTV: I guess The White Stripes were one of the first duos who made it loud and clear
that you can make as much roaring racket as a traditional 4-piece rock group. Many powerhouse tandems followed, such as The Black Keys, Deap Vally, Royal Blood, and
Death From Above 1979.

I’m quite sure Brooklyn’s Castle Black is in some way inspired by some of those bands
and turned up their amps to express with firm panache and vehemence what’s on their minds, hearts and souls. They have done it so far with 4 EPs and confirmed their musical powerhouse vision now with the first piece off their upcoming debut LP.

Bright-Eyed starts quietly, although you can feel the burning intensity instantly.
This riff-charged corker bounces forth and back, erupting halfway and never looks
back. Its shadowy edge, its poignant vocals, and its relentlessly baritone guitar and
EBow generated electricity turn this roller coaster into a fascinating slice of mysterious music, visualized by an eye-catching video clip.
