05/11/2024, Hayley CLX

It's possible you haven't heard of Black Rose Moves before since they are a fairly new band, but that certainly doesn't mean that founding members, the Birmingham-based duo Grant Leon and Mark Neat, do not have any experience in the music industry. For more than 10 years they played together in various acts and toured with famous names such as The Charlatans and Simple Minds.

The sonic journey of Black Rose Moves started in june 2024 with the single ‘Summer of Sorrow’ and followed-up in August with a second single ‘Ghost Town’.

Meanwhile, there’s now the band’s new single ‘Jessica’, but before I move on to that, a little bit about what you can expect when listening to Black Rose Moves.

Inspired by The Sisters Of Mercy, The Cult, Iggy Pop, Depeche Mode & New Order the music is a ‘put through the blender’ mix of Darkwave, Post-Punk and Goth Rock. Highly enjoyable to digest. What will haunt your ears are relentless basslines, pounding drums, sharp synths and catchy guitar riffs topped off with Grant Leon’s raw, impassioned vocals.

'Jessica', the november 1 released single that we want to draw your attention to, is more of this. Sharp, stormy & electrifying.

Take a step in Black Rose Moves shadowy world and listen for yourself. Very promising emerging band in the Post-Punk & Darkwave scene.

This album isn’t about bashing religion and faith. That would be a pretty cheap trick.
