The Italian psych-fuzz trio Black Rainbows sound like the bastard offspring of '70s hard-rock swagger and '90s stoner-groove; hints of Black Sabbath, MC5 and Hawkwind fuse with liberal pinches of Monster Magnet and Fu Manchu.

Since 2007 the band have released three full-length albums, coupled with split releases with bands such as White Hills, Naam and Farflung, and finally the recently highly acclaimed Holy Moon Ep.

They have also been regulars on stages across the world having now performed over 300 gigs.

New album Hawkdope is a perfect mix of Monster Magnet, Hawkwind, Fu Manchu; a psychedelic, lysergic storm of heavy space-rock containing nine brand new tracks.
