Since the band’s inception in 2006 the Philadelphia based Blackened Blue has been creating a version of Hard Rock that many describe as unique yet familiar. The lead melodies provided by Josh Nieto on guitar and vocals blend seamlessly with Bob Portland’s harmonic lines on guitar. All backed up by the intricate bass lines that Zack provides along side his brother Matt Ostrow on the drums. Result in a driving rhythm and melody that you wont mind having stuck in your head. The release of their debut album ‘A Brief Moment of Clarity’ in 2008 marked a turning point for the band. With this album the band continued performing their songs all over the Delaware Valley in venues as small as the corners of barrooms to large stage’s and college campuses. They continue to write new material in whatever style they wish ranging from funk to native all fused with a spine of rock and metal. With dedication and relentless effort the band has sharpened their skills into a fine point and are ready to take their music to the world
