Bringing it again this week with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight! This week for you guys, we head overseas to Brussels, Belgium an uncover the sharp sounds of Black Box Revelation. The duo consists of Jan Paternoster on lead vocals and guitars and Dries Van Dijck on drums and percussion. The band has been around since 2005, but have slowly been gaining steam here in the states for the past couple of years with their smooth combo of indie rock rhythms a la The Strokes and Southern influenced rock reminiscent of such bands like The Allman Brothers, but have a musical dynamic that is totally all their own with cutting edge guitar rhythms and fast paced, frenetic drumming that will have you grooving along to the songs right until the very end. I managed to catch these guys in concert back in September as they were opening for The Sheepdogs (another past Artist Spotlight alumni), and they put on a hell of a show that didn't make them stick out like a sore thumb, and ensured that they set the tempo right from the get go, and also encouraged the audience to stick around to get the crowd energized and ready to rock through the night. A terrific live act that is already on its way to greater success right here in the States. Some highly recommended songs for you to rock out to include "Shiver of Joy" and "I Think I Like You".
