BOMBAY BLACK was formed in the spring of 2003 when singer Erik Johnson and bassist Ty Sims began recording material that Erik had written. Guitarist Jim Perry and drummer Rob McCauley were recruited to round out the band about a year later. They passed on playing out in local clubs, instead
spending time in the studio working on what would eventually become their debut album "Mercy".
BOMBAY BLACK began playing out after completion of recording, opening for bands such as L.A. Guns, Firehouse, and Slaughter. A few months after they
had been performing live, they were contacted by Kivel Records. "Mercy" was released in May of 2004 to excellent reviews from the melodic rock community as well as the media.
On "Mercy", BOMBAY BLACK plays a mix of modern hard rock mixed with the big vocal harmonies akin to bands like Def Leppard and Journey and blazing
guitar leads reminiscent of players like Zakk Wylde and Dimebag Darrell. Live, BOMBAY BLACK is a relentless rock n roll machine, employing
every form of stage production allowable by club owners and local fire codes. |
