Wonka Vision Records is proud to announce the signing of Your Black Star. Their highly anticipated American debut “Sound from the Ground” hits the streets October 17th!
“Pay attention, because Your Black Star are about to knock your socks off. Sound From the Ground, is colossal — a lightning bolt straight out of Kentucky that’s on par with the best music Louisville has offered us over the years.” 9/10
- BLUNT Magazine
After circling the states on Elliott’s final tour, the boys in Your Black Star decided to drop everything and hit the high seas, extensively touring Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom. Garnering numerous spins on BBC 1 and BBC 6 as well as critical, international acclaim, YBS took the long way home, capturing fans abroad before cultivating them in the US. Now they’re ready to hit the pavement back home.
With over 100 shows a year, strong college radio play, and a colossal new album, on October 17th Your Black Star are ready to storm the States. “One of my editors sent me a copy of their old record and I was hooked”, states Justin Luczejko owner of Wonka Vision Records. “After seeing them live it was a no-brainer, I wanted to do this record immediately. Their sound was so loud, I was blown away when I found out they were a three piece and weren’t hiding a fourth member behind an amp backstage, ala some band from Chicago that will go nameless”.
Following a long and intense meeting held in the Bleacher seats of a Phillies/Dodgers double-header in Philadelphia, Wonka Vision Records, home of Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer and KittyKat DirtNap, inked a deal with the band and is about to present the long awaited American debut of Louisville, Kentucky’s YOUR BLACK STAR.
