BLACK OCEAN "Dogtown" debut album recorded and mixed by Steve Albini (Archangel Music).
Inspired by the Z-Boys, Greek rock trio BLACK OCEAN have delivered their Steve Albini recorded debut album 'DOGTOWN'; the kind of album that lets you believe in the power of passionate rock music again.
With the sound of The Kings Of Leon being abused by Nirvana, Black Ocean takes US college rock and gives it a well deserved punch in the face leaving it bloodied, raw and stunned - replacing the smug self awareness with an injection of rock n roll spirit. With a huge lurching guitar riffs and a massive drum sound, 'Dogtown' takes you back to early Nirvana and Mudhoney - dynamic pop music that steamrolls over you and leaves you exhausted but happy. While a band like The Foo Fighters does this kind of sweetly melodic pop-rock and strips it of any soul or passion with a slick overproduced sheen and way too much money, Black Ocean have that perfect level of raw grit and sweat, managing to sound like they're actually playing right there in the corner of your room threatening to tear a hole in your speakers.
With the power and conviction to make you truly believe, juggling hardcore, epic rock, grunge and country punk, Black Ocean are kinda like Nirvana meets The Lemonheads meets The Meat Puppets meets Fugazi. Echoing the likes of Nirvanas debut record or the early Soundgarden, Tad and Mudhoney material these are dynamic pop songs with a hardcore edge, replacing slickness for a gritty live feel and rock attitude. Black Ocean have delivered a "Streetcore" record that shifts from grimy hardcore menace to a country punk groove with the odd epic rock moment thrown in for good measure, and as such deserves to be heard and loved by as many people as humanly possible.
Further Listening: Nirvana>Bleach (1991>Sub Pop) Kings Of Leon>Youth And Young Manhood (2003>Hand Me Down Records) The Lemonheads>Creator (1986>Taang! Records) -- Mike Bond
BLACK OCEAN: Tas (vocals, guitar), JB (bass), Stone (drums)
“Dogtown: radical, rebellion, aggression, chaos, expression, style, art, pure source, primal force. This album holds all those things, no question about it. So what better album title than “Dogtown”. Inspired by the life changing movement from the Z-Boys, Tas has lived his whole life influenced by their rebellious approach to society. Skating and surfing with them in the 70’s, he shaped his life by promoting the essence of their attitude through his skating, surfing, way of life, and this album. Recorded out of pure chaos and rebelliousness, in one night they created 27 songs in one take. 13 songs were chosen for this album. Continuing to live the dream through skating, surfing, and no compromising; Black Ocean is opening the doors for real Rock n’ Roll for this generation through the inspiring resurrection of pure stoke and simplicity.” - Queen Isis
Tas started surfing and skating in Greece in the 70's, has been recognized as "The Godfather of Surf and Skate (in Greece)", and is a co-founder of a surf crew called the CST. Tas skated professionally as a teenager and currently has a pro surfboard model called "The Wavekillah" by Greek shaper JT of Cohete Surfboards. Tas is featured in the upcoming films "Water Time" by Allan Weisbecker, "Rattle & Break", "Pure Source Primal Force", "Transcending ART", "Radlands & Skate Ratz", and "Freedom or Death".
