[Planet Rock, Best New Band 2022] are award winning guitarist Tristan Thomas (lead singer/guitar), Jordan Evans (bass) and Perry Davies (drums) three outstanding musicians from Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. Following the huge success of their self released debut album, WEIGHT OF THE WORLD [number 6, Official UK Rock and Metal Chart] in 2021, FLORENCE BLACK hit the road.
The band performed a huge number of shows across the UK and EU, including support tours with Steel Panther, Ugly Kid Joe, two sold out stadium shows in Frankfurt and a sold out arena tour of Germany with German giants Bohse Onkelz. The band rounded off 2022 with their own largely sold out WEIGHT OF THE WORLD headline run in October.
FLORENCE BLACK returned to Long Wave Recording Studio, Cardiff, in spring 2023 to record their second album with WEIGHT OF THE WORLD producer Romesh Dodangoda. Acclaimed performances at Sweden Rock Festival; Resurrection Festival, Spain; and an incredible mainstage performance at Hellfest, France followed. Singles START AGAIN and DON’T HOLD ME DOWN from the forthcoming record were both playlisted by Planet Rock and both played on the BBC Radio 1 Introducing Rock Show.
The band’s second album BED OF NAILS will be released on December 1st, followed by a UK tour in February 2024. FLORENCE BLACK’s second album will be released in late 2023.
