"Los Angeles singer/songwriter Cobi has been turning heads since the release of his debut single last year" - HUFFINGTON POST
"In “Nobody Opened the Door,” Cobi’s expansive voice makes you feel all the feels. He starts the track off modestly and poignantly, backing up his soulful croon with stripped-down guitar strums. The song builds and builds until it bursts—the powerful emotion from his voice is matched with pounding drums and electric guitar riffs." - PASTE MAGAZINE
Black Pistol Fire's new album Deadbeat Graffiti is available now. This is the fifth full-length album from the high-octane rock band.
Black Pistol Fire is a Canadian-bred rock duo, currently based out of Austin, Texas, and composed of guitarist/vocalist Kevin McKeown and drummer Eric Owen. Their untamed sound stems inspiration from garage-rock, hip-hop, R&B and classic rock. In recent years, they've earned a reputation for their powerful live performances in the festival circuit from Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, Governor's Ball, and most recently Riot Fest, among others. Their upcoming tour includes a performance at Voodoo Fest in October.
According to the band, "our fifth album is a representation of our listening habits. It has a roller coaster effect, with many different tempos and influences ranging from garage-punk, to hip-hop, soul, and everything else that we may listen to on a given day. It is meant to act like a mixtape or Spotify playlist, where the listener won't know what'll hit them next!"
"These guys are a ferocious rush of rock 'n' roll energy."
- Grimy Goods
"Owen's pulsating rhythm and McKeown's flair for guitarmanship take center stage on "Deadbeat Graffiti," supplying eternally danceable tracks that will get even the largest curmudgeons tapping their feet. And where I find myself bonding with the music first on this occasion, the lyrics are so insanely catchy they become instantaneous earworms allowing every element of the band to shine."
- Wannabe Comic
"A fuzz-drenched caterwaul of a blues-rock duo from Canada beat and punched at each other like virtuosic old friends, driving the energy ever higher."
- Chicago Tribune, Riot Fest 2017
"Sleep on these guys at your own risk, because what they did to BMI on Friday afternoon was unholy...leaving a trail of scorched earth and melted minds."
- Consequence of Sound, Lollapalooza 2015
