Black Sea Royalty – EP (Self-released)

Nashville natives Sammy Mitchell and Jon Marc Winchester make some serious noise on their debut EP.  Black Sea Royalty’s sound, falling between traditional hard rock and mid-2000s alt-rock is both rough enough to appeal to Nashville’s underground music scene and accessible enough to find success in a general musical atmosphere.  The duo does a killer job of writing, performing, mixing, and producing this EP, and their work shows.  “Salvatore” is my personal favorite, but every song is good in its own right. -Austin Lyons 3/7/13 –
