Black Moon Rising
We are Black Moon Rising, a vulgar combination of classic rock, hardcore punk and old school heavy metal (not to mention some blues and swing) from New York! We are wicked and vulgar, nasty and unkempt but we try to write enough hooks to keep our whiskey glasses full until the next show. Check it out...
