Our story has always been about friendship first. From the beginnings of Black ‘N Blue, before the tours, the records, and craziness of the 80s, we were two friends writing songs and chasing dreams together. That bond has never changed.
BOMBSHELL is the first time since the late 80s that we’ve written and recorded new music side by side. We didn’t come into it with a plan, we just wanted to get together, write, and see where it took us. The joy for us is in the process, and that’s what has kept us coming back to it after all these years.
These six songs are simply two best friends doing what we love most: creating and recording music together. That’s where it started, and that’s where it still lives.

We’ve been friends a long time. We were talking the other day and realized that we’ve known each other, written songs, and played in bands together since we were 18 years old. That’s well over 40 years! Here’s five songs we uncovered recently that we’d almost forgotten about. These recordings were saved for more than 30 years on 2” analog multitrack tape and two track mixes on 1/4” tape, but were unfortunately disintegrated beyond use. After some digging, a DAT tape and a cassette were the only usable sources we could find. These recordings were almost lost forever. Now thanks to a bit of digital polishing, these songs have come to life! We thought they should see the light of day.
