The BLACK STAR RIDERS are excited to announce the release of their third single 'Tonight The Moonlight Let Me Down', which is accompanied by a lyric video available to watch here - https://youtu.be/lLkBt1eR8tM
The arrival of 'Tonight The Moonlight Let Me Down' coincides with the release of BLACK STAR RIDERS fourth studio album "Another State Of Grace" and it has been exclusively premiered on globally renowned US music industry media outlet Billboard. 'Tonight The Moonlight Let Me Down' is the perfect song to celebrate the band’s new record: an upbeat catchy rock driven number that displays BLACK STAR RIDERS’ distinctive sonic trademark. The single further enhances the band’s reputation as one of the most essential acts within today’s rock music scene, also showcasing their broad songwriting ability, which draws inspiration from every corner of the genre. The stunning saxophone solo played by legendary HANOI ROCKS' Michael Monroe is a prime example of BLACK STAR RIDERS’ craft.
The band’s front-man Ricky Warwick comments: “A wonderful Scott Gorham guitar riff, a killer saxophone solo from Michael Monroe and a lyric about that first heartbreak and sense of loss but the memories are always there to keep you warm, all signed, sealed and delivered with a big sloppy kiss from BLACK STAR RIDERS.”
BLACK STAR RIDERS guitar legend Scott Gorham adds: “It was such a fun album to make and to pick a favorite song is tough. But 'Tonight the Moonlight...' is definitely in my top 9!”
»Another State Of Grace« is available on CD, vinyl and vinyl picture disc, limited edition boxset and limited edition light green vinyl. Order your copies here: nuclearblast.com/blackstarriders-asog
