Biography

Making a triumphant return to the vibrant London Punk scene, the revered Camden band Black Powder Merchants has resurfaced, igniting the stages of the iconic Birds Nest and Fiddlers Elbow. They electrified their fervent fanbase with the thrilling announcement of their highly anticipated debut album, “Keep Your Powder Dry,” set to unleash its sonic onslaught on April 21, 2023. Originally recorded at Lab Studios in 2018/19, before unforeseen global circumstances forced the band into an involuntary hiatus and dispersed its members as far as Canada and beyond, this long-awaited record has not lost an ounce of its impact during its time on the shelf. Its indomitable spirit has been affirmed by the airplay it has received on BBC Introducing. To amplify the album’s impact, Black Powder Merchants unleashed their explosive single, “Like an Animal,” accompanied by a music video rumored to have been filmed within the abandoned walls of a government pandemic facility. As an added bonus, the single featured the captivating “B Side” track, “Bob Calling Awesome,” and a remix crafted by the legendary Freear of Slamboree fame. While retaining their signature high-octane punk rock energy and infectious grooves that once made them fixtures in pre-pandemic Camden, Black Powder Merchants have evolved even further, infusing an extra dimension to their sound with the addition of the remarkable Soprano Christina. This infusion adds a captivating edge, elevating their sonic assault to exhilarating new heights.
