Weekend Wonders: Black Bolt

“I think punk rock, especially for me, was a big middle finger to this whole talent thing.”
— MIKE WATT

Black Bolt are a punk band from Boise, ID, formed in 2010. Their style encompasses punk, indie rock, garage rock, and other impolite music. So far they’ve released ‘Falls’ (2012), ‘MBD&B/Like the Bear’ (2013), ‘Comfort of the Grave’ (2016), and the ‘2017 EP’ (2017). They are currently working on a new record, tentatively titled ‘The North End.’

“This is Black Bolt’s first music video. For all four of us, this is the first music video we’ve ever filmed, plotted, or appeared in. Most of us have been playing in bands for 10+ years, but we’ve never gotten this far before. So, for our first go, we decided to shoot and edit everything ourselves. We filmed in (drummer) Justin’s back yard, assembled some friends and animal costumes, and drank a responsible amount of White Claw. We decided to put all of our efforts into the one novelty song on our forthcoming record because it fits our ethos perfectly. We also love White Claw, which our Instagram account is proof enough of.”
