To describe the style of The Black and White Years is not easy; to classify them, an injustice. Their exhilarating, genre-blurring sound is like nothing you have heard before. Since their formation in 2005, their sound has evolved into an infectious electro-dance-rock that has brought them buzz-worthy status, radio airplay, and heavy recognition of their remarkable talent. Already, they’ve been labeled a band to watch in 2009 by Austin Monthly. Add in five 2009 Austin Music Awards (best producer, best new band, best song: “Power to Change,” best bass player, and best rock band) and you begin the grasp the big picture. That being, this band is burning down every stage they play with their unique, upbeat form of funk dance rock.
The Black and White Years (comprised of Scott Butler – Vocals/Keys, John Aldridge – Bass/Brass, Landon Thompson – Guitar, and Billy Potts – drums), are currently based out of Austin, Texas.
