A power trio formed in Tempe, Arizona, in 2012, The Black Moods built a loyal national audience through relentless touring, sharing stages with Whitesnake, Godsmack, and Robbie Krieger before ever breaking through on radio. Their album Sunshine (2020) produced four singles that charted in the Top 30 of Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and its follow-up Into the Night (2022), produced by Grammy-nominated Johnny K, consolidated their position as a reliable force in contemporary blues-driven hard rock. The trio draws from Led Zeppelin and Foo Fighters without slavish imitation, anchored by guitarist and vocalist Josh Kennedy's gritty delivery.
