The Black Noise is without a doubt a band on the rise. Their sound has evolved and matured over the years and become an arresting, mold breaking force of music that is swiftly becoming one of the most exciting projects to watch in the LA music scene. Birthed in Long Beach CA in 2010, The Black Noise is a mold breaking creative duo that has been hailed as the future of Soul music.
