The Black Keys attack Australia

Firm favourites on these shores, prodigious Ohioans The Black Keys are gracing us with their presence again this June.

The tour is to promote new album Attack & Release, which, unsurprisingly, has been greeted with effusive reviews. The Black Keys recorded with producer-du jour Danger Mouse in Cleveland, marking the duo’s first departure from their studio in Akron. As a result, Attack & Release is a rollicking, unvarnished ride through bluesy rock and soul. The pay-off is much the same at a Black Keys live show: only two guys, but a whole lot of grunt.

Don’t miss The Black Keys on their Attack & Release tour of Australia.
