Attack in Black Guitar Chords

Biography

Canadian rock outfit Attack in Black was formed in the early 2000s in Welland, Ontario, Canada. Early comparisons of their music were made to aggressive post-hardcore bands like Gainesville, FL's Hot Water Music, but the quartet later integrated more of a folk edge to their punk musings and claimed as much influence from acts like Neil Young as they did Refused. Attack in Black consisted of vocalist/guitarist Daniel Romano, his drummer brother Ian Romano and vocalist/guitarist Spencer Burton; Ian Kehoe replaced original bass player Matt Ellis following the release of a self-titled EP. The band signed to Toronto-based label Dine Alone Records in the spring of 2006, joining a roster that included artists like Moneen, City and Colour, and Bedouin Soundclash. (In fact, some members of Attack in Black served as part of the backing band for Alexisonfire guitarist/singer Dallas Green's side project City and Colour.) The Widows EP and Northern Towns 7" both surfaced before Attack in Black issued the full-length Marriage via Dine Alone in July 2007, which featured a healthy mix of rock, folk, and yes, some punk. The Curve of the Earth followed that fall solely as a digital release and limited-edition vinyl. ~ Corey Apar, Rovi
