Interview by Kris Peters
Sydney sludge fuelled outfit Black Rheno have just released another single - A Bad Ass Love Song - and to celebrate the trio are hitting the road this August to take their music to the people that matter most to them, the fans.
A Bad Ass Love Song is the third single released in recent times by Black Rheno, with all three earmarked as stand-alone singles to keep people smiling until they release a full length album next year.
But in the present, Black Rheno are kicking names and taking ass with a string of entertaining singles that have to be road tested to gauge their true worth, a task looked upon favourably by the band.
HEAVY sat down with frontman Ryan Miller to dig deeper, starting with the new single and its reception.
"Everyone loves it," he enthused. "It's a fun song. It's got a lot of energy to it, a lot of punk rock and hardcore punk vibes. It's just got that energy, then it's got some sludgey riffs as well… good club banger."
We ask if it is, as the title suggests, a love song.
"Yeah, yeah," Miller nodded. "I met a girl last year who I fell for… sometimes you just write what's on your mind, and that's what was on my mind."
In the full interview, we find out if Ryan's significant other is a fan of the song, whether this and the last two singles are stand-alone tracks or part of a bigger picture, their upcoming tour and what to expect, how Black Rheno prepare for a tour like this, the two festivals as part of the tour, future plans and more.
