Speedealer Mete out Fast and Brutal Riffs on Blue Days Black Nights
Texas cult band Speedealer are best known for their raw and intense live shows and their rabid following. The band has shared the stage with acts like Motörhead, Fu Manchu, Nashville Pussy, Zeke, Supersuckers, Fear, Superjoint Ritual, Eyehategod, Negative Approach, Morbid Angel, Gwar, Misfits, and Neurosis. Their current release, Blue Days Black Nights, is out now on Rise Up and Fall Records.
“Blue Days Black Nights is our first studio recording in 15 years,” drummer Harden Harrison explains. “Old fans will enjoy it as a continuation/progression from our previous releases and its a perfect introduction to the band for people not familiar with Speedealer. It’s all hard rock yet quite varied in song styles.”
“Blue Days Black Nights delivers exactly the kind of savage sonic fury fans have come to expect from the group,” opines Dave Pehling at San Francisco CBS. Stephen Thompson at AV Club calls the band “relentlessly assaultive” and states “it’s hard to deny that the band flat-out rocks.”
The Void Report sums up the band’s recent history writing “While line-ups have changed over the years, guitarist Eric Schmidt and drummer Harden Harrison remain, bringing The Buck Pets’ Ricky Pearson in to play bass and The Swingin’ Dicks’ Daniel Barron to sing. This lineup has been playing live since 2016 and are hardly catering to their fan base’s nostalgia. They’re just as great as they’ve always been and Blue Days Black Nights proves there’s plenty of gas left in the tank.”
Vocalist Daniel Barron concurs stating: “Speedealer has always enjoyed touring and playing live energetic shows. It’s the same in your face ‘less talk more rock’ shows live. Although we may not tour quite as extensively as in the past, we still try to hit as many cities as we can throughout the year.”
The ten tracks on Blue Days Black Nights are:
1. Never New
2. Rheumatism
3. War Nicht Genug
4. Nothing Left To Say
5. Sold Out
6. Losing My Shit
7. A Reckoning
8. Shut Up
9. Mainmast
10. Blue Days Black Nights
Daniel Barron offers input on select tracks saying “Some of the songs like ‘Never New,’ ‘Nothing Left to Say,’ and ‘Shut Up’ were written in 2005 intended for an earlier Speedealer release. The final track, ‘Blue Days Black Nights,’ is a nod to ELO.”
