The Black Tones on Band in Seattle

The Black Tones perform live during a taping of Band in Seattle.

Both NPR and The Seattle Times say The Black Tones are redefining Emerald City music. Founded by twins Eva and Cedric Walker, the band, which has opened for artists like Weezer, Mavis Staples and Death Cab for Cutie, released a new 7” “The Devil And His Grandmother” on Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready’s record label in 2020. Whether singing about spiders or ghetto spaceships, The Black Tones’ sonic charisma is exemplary and essential.
