Your Black Star was formed in winter 2001 by Jeremy Johnson and Drew Osborn, and since then has managed to release a full length and two Eps as well as playing hundreds of shows in the US and touring Japan and Australia. While they work on their new full length with new bassist/producer Kevin Ratterman, look for them live previewing some of the new material. Currently, YBS is looking for a US label to release this project. Fusing a frighteningly unshakable rhythm section with effects heavy post-apocalyptic guitar madness, Louisville, Kentucky's Your Black Star are taking delay soaked guitar rock back to it's early 1980's roots, while still moving forward both sonically and structurally. Imagine if the Cure's Disintegration and U2's War grew up listening to Fugazi and Rodan. Imagine the dirty pop splendor of the Jesus and Mary Chain filtered through years of pristine indie rock experience. Through swirling guitars, passionate vocals, rumbling bass and relentless drumming, Your Black Star bring home the music you've been waiting to hear. A true beacon in the darkness.
