Black Pulp

Presenting Black Pulp. A band formed out of Liverpool taking influences from Indie, Pop and Rock to create a sound that stands on its own two feet.

Using guitar fronted music to create an encapsulating sonic live atmosphere bringing something different to the table.

Since the band's inception, they have released three official singles, all of which have had support and airplay on BBC Introducing (BBC Radio Merseyside & BBC Radio Ulster)

They were featured in the Manchester Evening News': 'Bands and acts to watch out for in 2017':

Newest single Cry Again has currently amassed over 90'000 streams on Spotify.

"Black Pulp are Jack Smith, Sam Holt, Matt Bayliss and Ste Williams and their statement of intent, single Vapour, shows them to be on the Foals scale when it comes to their skittish, complex music - with additional psyche, surf, and urban sounds thrown in."

"Debut single Vapour kicks in with a bass tingling intro similar to the energetic early days of Peace and Foals before the teen angst lyrics ride in on polished vocals from lead singer Smith. With poetic lust wrapped around bittersweet mentions of Joy Division this track proves that Black Pulp are a worthy catch for the alternative genre." Manchester Evening News

This band don’t just ooze excellence in recorded material but also know how to smash a live performance with recently ripping up the cobbles of Kitchen Street and tearing the roof off Maguires. The bond between members showcases the exquisitely tight instrumentals with harmonious showmanship springing the crowd into the centre of the action." - Getintothis.co.uk

They have also recieved praise from Amazing Radio's Shell Zenner: "Hear some clear Viola Beach guitar inspiration in the new ace Black Pulp track. Their inspiration lives on, wow."
