BLANCO DIABLO is everything the band's name suggests and even some things it doesnt. This is a band on a mission and not one of those panty-waist, boy band evil missions either - this is dangerous rock & roll that engages the brain as well as the bones. The band's timeless rock songs have an edge all their own, honed with a relentlessly intense musical middle finger thrust at double-talking politicos that will define a genre, not mimic one.
BLANCO DIABLO'S unique talents are not to be ignored. These guys are rockers - they've got the sound, the look, the feel, gender appeal, ethnic appeal, curb appeal, excitement, apple pie and even melancholy. Hell, even your momma will think Blanco Diablos music is so good that its simply an affront to God.
From their combination of catchy riffs, singular vocals, blazingly soulful guitar playing, heart-pounding drums and driving bass lines to their ability to jolt the volts of rock devotees, BLANCO DIABLO is building a loyal fan base drawn by intriguing songs and just damn fine playing.
Having had the privilege of performing with such national acts as Tantric, Drivin n Cryin, Brides of Destruction, Rose Hill Drive, Firehouse, Jackyl, and Gary Hoey, BLANCO DIABLO continues to establish themselves as a band with a distinct style and abiding love for music. Be it with full-blown electric intensity or soulful bluesy jams, BLANCO DIABLO often perform in the Southeast, New York City, and the U.K. Their debut CD Paper Poison Revolution was released on Rock Ridge Music on April 25th, 2006. An exclusive single from the CD, titled "Fix Me Again", resulted in 6000 downloads in the first week of release on WindowsMedia.com. On their most recent 2006 U.K. tour the band performed at the acclaimed Oswestry Music Live Festival in Shropshire County England with over 12,000 in attendance.
Blanco Diablo has gained solid local, regional, and national press including a highlight in the November 2006 issue of Modern Drummer magazine recognizing the band's relentless touring schedule. "Blanco Diablo's debut 'Paper Poison Revolution' is a riff-riot collection of songs that lumbers and stomps at just the right pace (think Urge Overkill meets Sabbath and AC/DC's Young brothers at Billy Gibbons' Texas ranch)". - T. Ballard Lesemann from Charleston City Paper (Charleston, SC).
The band gained regular radio play in the the Southeastern US on stations such as WEND, WRXR, WOBX, WXQR, WRCQ, WYBB, WTPT, and WBZT for their debut single "Fix Me Again". In the UK, the band has 3 different singles in rotation on Bruce Dickinson's Rock Show on BBC 6 Music, Radio Maldwyn in Shropshire County, and CRMK 89.8 in Milton Keynes, England. From December 2006 through January 2007, the Speed Channel on Cable and Satellite Television featured the band's single on the Speed Report show.
2008 sees the band recording their sophomore disc with Grammy-nominated producer Chris Tsangarides at the Ecology Rooms Studio in Kent, England. Blanco Diablo will be touring in the US and abroad throughout the year.
