This vinyl record — their self-titled debut album — launched  May 20 2016 via the staging of a rock opera called The Gray Ground. At gigs, they would always stick out like an angry middle finger. One of them would like to think it’s because they’re always the best looking band on the lineup. To be honest, I think it’s the scowls on their faces and the music they make. Categorically, it’s post-punk rock. To a regular walk-in customer just looking to have two bottles or three on a Saturday night, it’s strange, moody and totally un-karaoke-able. The Black Vomits are permanent residents of the Gray Ground, that sliver of land where no boy band will ever set foot. And they’re putting that on record, rather literally, and staging an operetta to celebrate. Libations for everybody!
