THE BLACK BEARDS - Rock, As It Should Be

In 2005, a small town called Santanyí in the south of the island of Mallorca, was born what would become one of the musical formations calls to revive the spirit of rock from the 70's. Influenced by southern rock groups such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top and The Black Crowes, aside from classics like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Hendrix or AC / DC among others, The Black Beards has been built up over the years as a band of pure and authentic rock and roll, an American roots rock that draws from the mixing and blending of different musical styles that breathe and live in the territories under the Mason-Dixon line: hard rock, blues and country. In short, what 
has been called Souther Rock.


Thus, from the appearance of his first album "Rock and Roll" (2006), going for his second album "Southern rock accents for a generation" (2008) and reaching the more recent "The great southern road trip" (2010), the evolution of the band, both musically and staff (with input and output of its members), has led to the 
maturation and consolidation in a classic style, but while sounding completely current and a recognizable personality. Batteries and strong bass lines, guitars energetic, crisp and distorted, a powerful voice that speaks sympathetically of those experiences rooted in life. No trap or cardboard.  On the contrary, is the authenticity that occurs when one party does not just play rock, but live their lives in the key of rock, putting his whole soul into each of their songs and performances.
