Alive Records will release the new album by southern punk-ass blues duo Black Diamond Heavies on June 10th
Titled "A Touch of Someone Else's Class," the band recorded the album with producer Dan Auerbach
of The Black Keys at his Akron Analog studio.Black Diamond Heavies are a two-piece consisting of John Wesley
Myers on bass keys, fender rhodes, organ, and vocals (left hand of rhythm, right hand of soul)
and Van Campbell completing the lineup on drums and vocals. A family pedigree that has Myers' father a Baptist
preacher and Campbell coming from a family of bourbon distillers (seriously, "Old Rip Van Winkle"), the Heavies
are about
nothing but pounding out their raucous punk take on the blues and soul, southern style. Their critically
lauded debut
Alive Records release "Every Damn Time" was hailed by NME as "damn brilliant·a fabulous debut" as well as "an
impressive set of messed-up 21st century blues" by All Music Guide. On the road for the better part of a year, the duo has
performed several times throughout the U.S. and Europe. The band is currently touring the States through April, then head
back overseas performing in the UK, Ireland, France and Spain.
