Black Stone Cherry Vinyl Records
Kentucky rockers Black Stone Cherry employ a fiery yet rootsy mix of hard rock and post-grunge/heavy metal that invokes names like Stone Sour, Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherry, and Shinedown. Woolly, dirty, and uncompromising, the band's self-released Rock N' Roll Tape in 2003 netted the attention of Roadrunner, which signed them after witnessing audience reactions to their endless touring. Their self-titled debut for the label appeared in 2006 to rave reviews from the rock press.
