Well firstly, the band name is written "Black #8". But websites don't like the character "#". It's not really a band, more of a solo recording venture. Just me, Jim, with a host of stringed instruments, recording in my bedroom. With a computer mic. The results are far better than i thought they could be though.

Band/artist history

Started officially, after 2 years of thinking about it, and ages of writing lyrics which have been either used or discarded throughout the making of the first ep.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I play live, but not with Black #8. I play with a band called "The Semantics" at infrequent intervals. So far just a cover band, but its good fun, and it's nice to get a good crowd reaction, since they already know most of the songs.

Your musical influences

Well I love faith no more, nine inch nails, foo fighters, to name the bare minimum. I don't know is my work like them at all, but i've been told one is kinda like NIN, and i feel a lot of my work has a foos-ish feel. I am very influenced by dave grohl, he's my favourite professional musician..so yeah, grohl mostly.

Anything else?

Visit Templemore UAM, for more bands from my area, all unsigned, most with free music download, original tunes!
