Blacktop Mojo Release New Video For Strike Me

Southern grunge rockers BLACKTOP MOJO has released the official music video for their newest single, “Strike Me.”

“‘Strike Me’ was recorded in our sessions for our self-titled album (released in 2021) at Sound Emporium in Nashville, TN and we had the privilege to add the background singing of the world famous McCrary Sisters on the track, who were an honor to work with. It was our first time bringing in outside background singing.” – Matt James

Blacktop Mojo’s fourth album finds the Palestine, Texas-based outfit hitting an impressive creative stride and flexing muscles most bands don’t even know they have. The sound is a highly-combustible swirl of Texas groove metal, grunge and classic rock, and the group’s own ideas about what rock and roll should be in 2022.

Heavy rocker “Strike Me” rides in on a killer groove with Matt James’ one-of-a-kind rock vocals and the tight rhythm section of Nathan Gillis (drums), Ryan Kiefer (guitar), Chuck Wepfer (guitar) and Matt Curtis (bass.)

Listen to “Strike Me”

 
Their sound is built upon epic, stadium-rocking beats, immense guitar riffs, and fired-up, intelligent vocals that speak directly to today’s audience. Blacktop Mojo is a cultural force and uses this new album to scream what a lot of us are feeling.

Blacktop Mojo has been going hard since 2012, when vocalist Matt James and drummer Nathan Gillis first put a lineup together. They began putting out records in 2014 to much acclaim and hit the Billboard Top 40 more than once. Blacktop Mojo has performed with major artists including Bon Jovi, Candlebox, and Puddle of Mudd, and made an appearance on Sammy Hagar’s “Rock & Roll Road Trip’ on AXS TV. Even after all of this, the band members still live communally in a shared house and keep their own sphere of artistry alive. These days, the band also includes guitarists Chuck Wepfer and Ryan Kiefer and bassist Matt Curtis. They’re a five-piece rock machine with a bone-crunching vibe and the skills to scale the music world’s highest peaks.

“The song is a sardonic answer to living through the great many turmoils we’ve all dealt with, especially in the last two years. It’s essentially us observing the world around us and exclaiming, ‘I’m coming, Elizabeth!’ to quote the late, great Redd Foxx.” – Blacktop Mojo
