  • Bio

    This Chapel Hill, NC power trio has been tuning down and turning up since late 2005, constantly evolving their aural offerings of psychedelic sludge. With a combination of the foreboding heaviness of blues based proto-metal, the spry attitude and approach of punk, and the dynamics of progressive rock, their songs often project a dark & urgent energy. The band has shared stages across the continental U.S. with like-minded yet diverse rock bands including Boris, Valient Thorr, Big Business, Kylesa, Harvey Milk and others. .... Black Skies released their debut EP in August 2007, Aqua Dogs b/w Family man 7" put out by Chapel Hill vinyl label Sirena Discos in Spring 2008, self-released Hexagon EP in 2008 and a limited edition 12" of Hexagon released in 2009 on Chicago label, I'm Better Than Everyone Records, and full length record, "On The Wings Of Time" in 2011 currently being streamed here: http://blackskies.bandcamp.com. Black Skies is: Kevin Clark: vocals, guitar, Tim Herzog: drums, Michelle Temple: bass, vocals.

    New Release:
    I Know Now
    on
    Not Only Street Records

    The native-born Jamaican Marvin Anthony Burnett aka Sledgy was born in St. James at September, 27th in 1973.
    At the age of sixteen he came with his brother to Germany to stay with his mother and live a better life. Shortly afterwards young Anthony got down with rapping.
    To do music brings a lot of joy to him. Music is a great pleasure for Sledgy; he feels committed to make music.

    It helped him through his hard time after his entry into Germany which was totally foreign to him at that time.
    After he had rapped a long time for himself to take his mind off his worries, Burnett signed a contract with the label Power Jam Records.
    With conclusion of the treaty his music career begins.

    Under the name of Marvin Burnett he performs onstage (YOU) two times and at Funworld, Bodensee. Furthermore his music appeared on Radio K?ln and Radio 7.
    For two years he has been under contract to Power Jam Records which is known as GUMAK Media e.K. today.

Black Skies, a power trio currently based in Chapel Hill, NC, are as fast-moving as the rolling thunderheads their name so vividly conjures. They formed in November of 2005, began playing out just two months later, and have been tearing up the interstate ever since, sharing stages across the continental U.S. with like-minded yet diverse rock bands: Japanese drone-metallers Boris, proto-punk aliens Valient Thorr, plus Big Business, Kylesa, RTX, The Atomic Bitchwax, Zoroaster, Year Long Disaster, Burning Brides, Jucifer, Harvey Milk and others.

Taking their cues from sludgy yet dynamic behemoths like Black Sabbath and The Melvins, Black Skies' music is foreboding, heavy yet spry, and crackles with dark energy. Current personnel includes guitarist/singer Kevin Clark, drummer Tim Herzog, and bassist/singer Michelle Temple.

In short: A gathering darkness that casts an oppressive pall over all the sunny pop and goofy indie rock their hometown can muster. Tired of bands that want to save, revive, or reinvent rock and roll? Meet one that just plays the shit out of it.

Black Skies released their debut EP in August 2007, Aqua Dogs b/w Family man 7" put out by Chapel Hill vinyl label Sirena Discos in Spring 2008, self-released Hexagon EP in 2008 and a limited edition 12" of Hexagon released in 2009 on Chicago label, I'm Better Than Everyone Records.
