Bootblacks’ Panther Almqvist and Barrett Hiatt recently went Under the Probe for us at Music Fiends….in a very big and awesome way. Who would pick Martha & Snoop Dogg to be on his team in the Zombie Apocalypse? If given one chance to go back in time, who would use it to go back to 1989 and NOT attend that legendary Depeche Mode Rose Bowl show? Now is your chance to find out that and more! Check out the amazingly clever video they sent us in response to our probing questions below:
Want that sweet Bootblacks playlist featured in the video? They were kind enough to make it for you:
Since forming in 2010, Brooklyn-based Bootblacks has been churning out post-punk goodness with their moody, dark melodies and driving beats. The band draws its influences from the post-punk and darkwave scenes of the 80s, while also infusing their sound with modern electronic elements.
With three LPs – Veins (2016), Fragments (2018), and Thin Skies 2020) – and another, Paradise, on the way, Bootblacks has played festivals such as Cold Waves, Terminus, Absolution, Wave Gotik Treffen, and Murder of Crows, and has toured the US and Europe extensively.
Bootblacks has a few West Coast dates between July 31 – August 5. US Fall tour dates and European Fall tour dates will be announced soon, so stay tuned to Bootblacks.net and follow them on Instagram @bootblacks for more info.
