   About THE BLACKWATER FEVER
"THEIR RAW SOUND EXEMPLIFIES THE ESSENCE OF BLUES-ROCK" - TimeOff

Sweet Misery:
The highly anticipated long player from the guitar/drums two piece The Blackwater Fever. 13 tracks of garage blues, alt-country, murder ballads and four on floor rock n' roll, with appearances by Steve Merry (The Fumes) , Alex Archer (The Kill Devil Hills) and crunk soloist Red Ghost all putting their mark on this potent, multi-layered release. album. Released late 2008 and receiving rave music press reviews plus granted a PBS Radio Feature Album and voted one of Tsunami Mag's Best Albums of 2008.

"A DYNAMIC DUO OF POWERHOUSE BLUES" - FasterLouder


A harrowing growl, a tortured electric guitar and the rhythmic stomp of an unrelenting drum kit. If you close your eyes you can almost smell the swamp and feel the moonlight on your face. It's hard to believe such an atmospheric, blues-heavy sound comes from just two guys. Breaking your heart one minute only to pick you up with an irresistible rocker the next, this Brisbane-based duo are a live experience not to be missed.

"A SEETHING BLUES TWO PIECE AND DAM THAT BOY CAN SING" - Steve Merry, The Fumes

Released in 2006, their 'Abused Blues' EP saw strong support from Triple J's Caroline Tran, Sarah Howells with consistent airplay, interviews and gig crossovers. This national hype helped TBWF gain momentum, sharing stages with internationalists The Black Keys, The Datsuns, Black Diamond Heavies & Bob Log III plus shows and tours with home grown acts The Fumes, The Vasco Era, Birds Of Tokyo, Tame Impala, Whiskey Go Go's, The Kill Devil Hills, Mia Dyson, Ash Grunwald, The Mess Hall, Youth Group to strong music press reviews.

"SOME OF THE DIRTIEST BLUES IN THE BUSINESS" - Rave Mag

Touring nationally throughout '09, TBWF are set to spread an epidemic of garage sounds across Australia.
