Continuing to prove he’s rock’s hardest working musician, Todd Kerns (Slash, Toque, Age Of Electric, Heroes And Monsters) has started a new band with guitarist Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns) called Blackbird Angels. The debut album, “Solsorte”, will be released on September 8! The lead single, ‘Shut Up (You Know I Love You)’ is out now!
Guns says, “Todd and I have wanted to make a record for about 10 years now and we finally did it and it’s everything I hoped for. With the addition of Adam Hamilton, it’s pure magic. For live performances, Johnny Martin will play bass and Sam Bam Koltun will play guitar.”
Kerns adds: “I’ve always been a great admirer of Tracii’s. When he approached me about this project, we were still in the throes of the pandemic and I really felt this deep need to make as much music as possible while we were all facing such an uncertain future. The record turned out to not only be a cathartic experience, it became some of my favourite music I’ve ever been a part of. It’s raw, it’s real and it rocks. I’m super excited for people to hear it.”
