Black Diamond Heavies

Black Diamond Heavies is a dynamic blues-rock duo that has carved out a distinctive niche in the music scene with their fervent hybrid of soul, blues, and punk-inspired rock and roll. Originating from Tennessee, the band consists of John Wesley Myers, also known as James Leg, on vocals and keys, and Van Campbell on drums. Their sound is characterized by the raw and gritty tones of an electrified Fender Rhodes, robust vocals, and a relentless, hard-hitting rhythm section, which coalesce to form an unapologetically heavy, yet soulful, sonic signature.

The Black Diamond Heavies have been delivering their visceral brand of music since their inception in the mid-2000s. Albums like "Every Damn Time" and "A Touch of Someone Else's Class," released in 2007 and 2008 respectively, struck a chord with fans of punk-laced blues and helped to solidify their reputation as relentless performers, both on stage and in the studio. The band's reputation for electrifying live shows was captured in the aptly titled "Alive As Fuck," recorded during a raucous performance in Antwerp, Belgium. Continuously toeing the line between mayhem and melody, Black Diamond Heavies' music is a non-stop ride through the heart of modern blues-rock, with each release, like "All To Hell/Their Baddest and Greasiest," delivering on their promise of intensity and raw emotion.
