Black Poets

With more than a passing visual resemblance to San Francisco rock outfit BRMC, Black Poets brings with them the appeal of boys in leather jackets, English accents, playing soaring post-punk rock with guitars. Cutting their teeth on the UK live circuit over 2007-2008 has left Black Poets with an enviable reputation for their live act and repertoire. Black Poets are a modest bunch of likely lads from London, England. In this purely for the music, they are completely in love with their sound and are often mistaken for being a New York band.
