Local Spotlight – Black Fever

Tune in all this week as Jay features Black Fever on the Local Spotlight – daily at 3:40 during Weekdaze!

THE BLACK FEVER is a post-punk indie rock band based in Toronto, comprised of Shoe (vocals, guitar), Pat Bramm (bass, back-up vocals), and Dan Purpura (drums).  The band’s music mixes guitar-based post-punk influences with lead bass lines and up-tempo drums, while reflecting the band’s focus on melody and concise songwriting.

The band’s 2014 EP, A Little Help, is the follow-up to two self-released albums,Romanticism (2010) and Revisionist (2012).

A Little Help was produced by Jon Hawkes and mastered by Noah Mintz.  The three track EP was written over 2013, as the band prepared material for a forthcoming album that will include the EP’s tracks.  It was recorded in Toronto in the fall and winter of 2013/2014.

Of the EP, the band says:

“A Little Help is closer to our live sound than our previous recordings, and is a snapshot of what our full length album will sound like – rawer, concise songs, and lots of energy.”
