Blackwater Fever



In Stereo, the 2nd full length from Australian two piece The Blackwater Fever. Recorded at Brisbane’s newly established Borough Studios. Co-produced with artist Skritch (Mary Trembles, Beast Of Bourbon, Tex Perkins’ Dark Horses)

In Stereo is a blend of rock n’ roll, blues and soul. Written with honesty, performed with intensity and vigor. Ignoring all cool kid trends and hipster sounds. The Blackwater Fever have produced a potent 2nd album.

“SWEET MISERY IS THAT RAREST OF THINGS: A TOUGH, PASSIONATE GARAGE BLUES ALBUM THAT IS SATISFYING FROM BEGINNING TO END EVEN AFTER THE UMPTEENTH LISTEN.” – Tsunami Mag
Their dark debut ‘Sweet Misery’ received continuous praise from the Australian music press. There was airplay and interviews on JJJ, RRR, FBI, RTR, ABC and 4ZZZ. It was a feature album on PBS radio and made waves across to US college radio. HBO featured tracks, reaching over 38 million US viewers, used for their summer Cinemax campaign … and oh yeah it was voted best Australian release on Polish radio 2009! It is released in Australia, Europe and Japan.

“REFRESHINGLY BLEAK, MYSTERIOUSLY ACCOMPLISHED AND COMFORTABLY CONFIDENT” – MAG (JB HI-FI)
A harrowing growl, a tortured electric guitar and the rhythmic stomp of an unrelenting drum kit. If you close your eyes you can almost smell the swamp and feel the moonlight on your face. It’s hard to believe such an atmospheric, blues-heavy sound comes from just two guys. Breaking your heart one minute only to pick you up with an irresistible rocker the next, this Australian duo are a live experience not to be missed.

“DARK RIVER OF VITRIOLIC ROCK’N’ROLL” – Time Off
TBWF have shared the stage with internationalists The Black Keys, Jon Spencer, Datsuns, Black Diamond Heavies & Bob Log III plus shows and tours with home grown acts Birds Of Tokyo, Calling All Cars, Tame Impala, Mia Dyson, The Mess Hall, The Vasco Era, The Kill Devil Hills, Yves Klein Blue, Youth Group and The Fumes to strong music press reviews.
With their hands well and truly dirty laying the foundations of a 3rd album already. TBWF seem hell bent on making their mark on the Australian and international music scene.
