Bio:
Ask anyone Irish and they’ll tell you music is in their blood, and so it is with Blackwater Conspiracy from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Their debut album “Shootin’ The Breeze” is scheduled for release in July 2017 on Bulletproof 20/20 Records, distributed by Absolute. With confirmed festival slots at Download in June and Ramblin’ Man Fair in July and other live performances in the pipeline, this year promises to be when Blackwater Conspiracy take a big step forward into the light and the magic of their music can be discovered by all.The story of the band is the story of 5 guys from Northern Ireland who have been playing music all their lives. Having crossed paths frequently over the years they came together as Blackwater Conspiracy in the Summer of 2015, formed from the ashes of two of the country’s most popular local bands, Million Dollar Reload and Swanee River.Their intention from the outset was no more following of trends, no more conforming to what was expected – they are 5 individuals wanting to fully express themselves whilst playing in a band. Sounds simple, but consider a classically trained pianist taking inspiration from Jon Lord and Jerry Lee Lewis, a bass player influenced by Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy, a drummer driven by everyone from Buddy Rich to Danny Carey and two guitar players oozing The Stones, The Faces and The Black Crowes - you’re going to create a pretty unique musical melting pot.Main songwriters Phil Conalane (vocals & guitar) and Brian Mallon (lead guitar) take a refreshingly free-form approach to the songs, so allowing all this individual expression to take place. The result is a breathtaking variety of material - from rich bluesy slide guitar rock to achingly delicate confessional country; from galloping radio friendly rock ‘n’ roll to late night dark corner whiskey blues. The band play with a stunning and effortless ease, yet no matter what the style, the arrangements are epic and totally original and its all woven together with one of the most naturally expressive classic rock voices in the world today.Like the River Blackwater, the geographical link that ties each member together, and from where they take their name, there is an unstoppable flow, a natural power and order of things present here – this is the essence of Blackwater Conspiracy.“Shootin’ The Breeze” was recorded firstly at Rockfield Studios in Wales with Sean Douglas and then later at Studio 2, Portadown in Northern Ireland with James Wilson.
Album:
Blackwater Conspiracy are from County Tyrone, Norhern Ireland and are made up of former members of Million$Reload and a new keyboard player. They took a bold step when they announced that Million$Reload were to be no more. During their last show, rather than end it then have a break before returning, they actually changed their name mid show and started playing the new songs straight away.As Million$Reload they were definitely more on the heavy side of Rock, but have taken a different direction under Blackwater Conspiracy. You could now class them as a Southern Rock or even Blues Rock band. However you pigeon hole them, the truth of the matter is that the new format works, and their new sound is fantastic.Blackwater Conspiracy are Phil Conalane (Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar), Brain Mallon (Lead Guitar), Kie McMurray (Bass), Fionn O’Hagain (Drums) and Kevin Brennan (Keys/Organ).Their debut album titled Shootin’ the Breeze is released on CD and digital download on June 9th 2017, with the vinyl option being released on July 7th 2017 as a double album. The CD has 10 tracks that are a great mix, and it really does have you captured from track one. The vinyl release will also have four bonus tracks not available on the CD version.We start with a track called ‘Blackwater Swagger,’ which you could easily mistake for old school Black Crowes. It has that real Southern vibe and swagger, as the title suggests.This is followed by ‘The Monday Club,’ basically talking about how crappy Monday mornings are after a great weekend. This track just bounds along, and will have you tapping along to the chorus straight away.‘Waitin’ on Hollywood’ starts with the keyboard intro masterfully played by Kevin before Brian’s guitar riffs hit home, then it launches into the song with Phil’s amazing gravel-toned voice. Again it has a chorus to easily pick up and sing along to straight away. You can’t help yourself.‘Penny for Your Dirty Mind’ slows the pace slightly to more of a ballad tempo, but again it’s not long before the pace lifts towards the chorus that again is so addictive.‘Decadent Highway.’ Its rocking beat will have those hands drumming away on the steering wheel as you crank up the volume in your car. The pace slows deliberately for the chorus before again taking off like a heat seeking missile.‘Hanging Tree’ builds up from a melodic quieter start, with just guitar and Phil’s vocals, before you’re hit full in the face as the full band kicks in and Phil’s vocals are raised, as is the tempo of this track.Yet another well formulated song that you won’t want to skip, ‘85 Rockstar’ has that wonderful organ intro that you are used to from old school Classic Rock bands of the ‘70s. The song takes a mid tempo romp that really has a change of beat that again has you engulfed in the sheer great sound that these guys are making.Title track ‘Shootin’ the Breeze’ has a slow start, while it builds and builds until the amazing vocal talent of Phil catapults you into the sing along chorus.‘President Joe’ is one of those Pink Floyd/Led Zeppelin type seven-minute-plus anthemic songs that you can imagine being played in any arena in the world with the lights dimmed. Before they hit that point where the lights come up and the bar is raised, Phil’s vocals again lift the track to the next level.Last track on the CD is ‘Roll the Dice.’ Again we are treated to some awesome keyboard playing that leads us into a cool rockin’ end to a truly great debut album.There is not one song that should be skipped, and the four bonus tracks on the vinyl version are worth the purchase alone. This is one of the best debut albums in a long time, one you should definitely have in your collection.
