The road to success has been anything but conventional. Their story began in 2010 when they were tipped by Steve Winwood, who invited them to record at his own Wincraft Studios. A triumphant Sonisphere set led to the offer of a U.S. record deal and a collaboration with Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven. Reality didn’t match expectations, and the band went their separate ways before ever releasing an album.
In the decade that followed, their paths diverged but never truly separated. Buck’s distinctive guitar playing earned him numerous accolades and praise from some of the most distinguished players in Slash, Joe Satriani and Jason Isbell. The band remained close, reuniting sporadically to play together until, in February 2020, they decided to reform.
Cardinal Black may have taken the scenic route, but they have well and truly arrived—bringing with them a wealth of stories and electrifying performances. The trio continue to prove that sometimes, the wait is well and truly worth it.
A lot has happened in the miles and years they’ve covered together. Midnight at The Valencia is an honest account of some of the highs and lows they encountered and the stories they found along the way: ‘Ride Home’ unfolds a portrait of a boy they watched going off to war, only to see him return later a man; ‘Adeline’ is a melancholy love letter from a father to his daughter; ‘Morning Light’ follows a family man as he tries to rebuild his life after a divorce; ‘Breathe’ chronicles a tryst between illicit lovers fighting to slip the stranglehold of failing relationships; ‘Push/Pull’ is that plaintive rite of passage through loss and grief we all have to navigate; ‘Keep on Running’ is a cautionary tale of a friend’s brush with the unsolicited attentions of a stalker; and if ‘Holding my Breath’ is a confession to a partner of feeling trapped in a relationship, ‘Your Spark’ is the counterpoint finale: a thank you from one of the band to his wife.
