Muscle Shoals, Alabama has enjoyed a long and successful music tradition. From the time the Swampers put this vibrant city on the rock and roll map, Muscle Shoals has played an integral role in the on-going evolution of contemporary music. Now a Muscle Shoals rock band BLACKLAND, appears ready, willing and more-than-able to add another chapter to their home towns noble rock and roll history book. As proven throughout their self released debut album Cypress Burn, members Mark Pyle, Max Williams, Tim Pearl and Terry Oldham have fully absorbed influences ranging from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot in to the new rock sounds of Creed and Pantera and have filtered them all through their own unique musical perspectives. The resulting musical brew is a true feast blending bold guitar power, blues driven vocal fury and cutting-edge writing into a brand new sound. 

BLACKLAND delivers the goods with passion, power and precision. Formed in 1997, the band purchased the East Avalon Recorders studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 2002 and has released two albums on the independent record label Visual Records. The band has shared the stage with many national artist and continues to perform at fairs, festivials, biker events and venues throughout the southeast.
