Seamlessly blending melody with adrenaline fueled, heavy rock and roll, Blacktop Mojo draws in everyone from old metal heads to people whose radio dials have never left top 40 stations. With soaring, gritty vocals and impeccably blended heavy guitar grooves set around a raucous southern stomp, Blacktop Mojo’s live shows are sure to leave fans’ screaming at the top of their lungs with metal horns in the air. Formed in the final weeks of 2012, Blacktop Mojo began cutting their teeth in the numerous country venues that Texas has to offer, but the guys never quite felt like they belonged. With each song they wrote, the vocals got less twangy and the sound from the amps became more gravelly and distorted until the guys had found their own unique blend of heavy southern rock. Through touring, the band has played with many national acts such as Bon Jovi, Sammy Hagar, Aaron Lewis, Daryl “DMC’ McDaniels, Candlebox, Drowning Pool, Puddle Of Mudd, Smile Empty Soul, Audiotopsy, and Whiskey Myers. The band released their debut album ‘I Am’ in 2014. Their brand new album ‘Burn The Ships’ released March 10th and has quickly become the hottest up and coming band of the year. The band even played their new track “Why” on Good Morning Texas.
The band has recently been competing in a video Battle over at Loudwire with their video for “Where the Wind Blows”. This marks the bands third week in a row winning the title. In celebration of those wins the band decided to cover “No Rain” by Blind Melon. In my eyes Blind Melon vocalist Shannon Hoon is one of the greatest vocalists of the 90’s and covering that song is no easy task, and they absolutely nailed it… Don’t believe me? Listen for yourself!
Also check out the video for “Where the Wind Blows” that has won them three consecutive weeks as Loudwire’s #1 video.
