Black Tape

Hailing from Boston, this hotly-tipped, stylish-looking outfit have built their reputation on spiky, punky anthems. Their first major label release sees them fine-tuning their raucous sound somewhat but it’s still strong, fist-punching stuff and tracks such as ‘Deliver Us’, ‘No Revolution’ and the single ‘Here I Am’ pack a bundle of barely concealed rage that can sound a tad contrived at times.
