BLACK STATE HIGHWAY Signs With HNE RECORDINGS

May 19, 2014

U.K. rockers BLACK STATE HIGHWAY have inked a deal with HNE Recordings for the release of their self-titled debut album.

BLACK STATE HIGHWAY is a five-piece, multinational, female-fronted hard rock band on a mission. Equal parts filthy blues riffs, monster rhythm and raw, melodic hooks, these young guns have set a determined foot on the road to glory.

Formed at Brighton Institute of Modern Music, BLACK STATE HIGHWAY includes Latvian singer Liva Steinberga (22),English guitarist Olie Trethewey (23),Scottish bassist Gordon Duncan (23),Swedish guitarist Jon "Yonnis" Crampton (24) and Ginger drummer Harry Bland (22).

BLACK STATE HIGHWAY has been honing its skills around London, tearing up venues like O2 Academy Islington, The Big Red and the Intrepid Fox. With its self-titled debut album recorded and poised to drop, the band is ready to step it up a notch. You'll hear shreds of AC/DC, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, LED ZEPPELIN and BLACK SABBATH in the music, but it's their bone-crunching riffs and bottle-shattering vocals that set them apart from the rest of the pack. With a respectful nod at the musical pedigree that influenced them, the band stamp their own authority on the scene by stepping outside the boundaries of classic rock traditions with their own original brand of heavy, riff-based rock.
