We Travel On The Backs Of Whales

...for those about to rock, you may want to make the introduction of Columbus outfit, Black Owls. We were fortunate enough to have the band's debut, Lightning Made Us Who We Are, come across our desk the other day and, quite frankly, we're rather enamored with it.

No worries though, this is much more than a retro trip. These guys seem to have a pretty good sense of humor which keeps the whole thing firmly in the fun department. You like fun with yr rock n' roll, right?

...go ahead and dig in now. Black Owls will be at Oregon Express this Saturday with fellow Columbus power-poppers Paper Airplane and one of our favorite locals, Hospital Garden...
