Black Poets are a post punk band from London with a dark yet powerful sound, somewhat ethereal slightly quirky full of monotone details, glossy sweepy interweaving guitars, melodic mid-scale basslines and NYC punk style drums. A cocktail of U2 and The Chameleons.
The members of Black Poets have created a soundscape that directly references the course Hackney streets they live in, from underneath a railway line in Bethnal Green since the beginning of 2008.
Fast forward a year and the band is about to release its debut album entitled Innocents And Thieves – a phrase that Gerard, the band’s lyricist/vocalist, likened to what he sees as the everyday boundaries of society.
The album was produced using an array of 70s and 80s analogue equipment by Black Poets and Pete Abbott with mastering by John Davis (U2, Led Zeppelin).
Black Poets have been steadily converting the audience at every gig they play over the two years they have existed and have clearly enjoyed every second.
“Live is where we shine. It’s the most enjoyable part of being in a band. Getting to play your music as often as possible to as many people as possible gives you a real buzz.” Comments the band’s guitarist Stephen J Good.
The band has already been booked to be a showcase act of US music magazine Filter at the East London venue 93 Feet East, as well as
being booked for the Proud Gallery clubnight Bangers & Mash. An appearance at the 2009 Liverpool Soundcity festival in May has also
been confirmed.
Black Poets will be bringing their blend of darkwave gloss and post punk to the British masses through March, April and May 2009.
The album Innocents And Thieves is released in the UK through Tonecity/Genepool/Universal on 4th May 2009.
