The band send their thanks to fans, friends and family for “being the greatest support network we could’ve ever hoped for.”
Black Peaks formed in 2012 and released a debut EP titled Closer To The Sun in 2014. The band’s popularity surged following their signing to RED Music and release of the highly-esteemed full-length album Statues in 2016. The four piece, made up of Will Gardner (lead vocals), Joe Gosney (guitar), Dave Larkin (bass) and Liam Kearley (drums), were known for their soaring, intense tunes, crowned by Gardner’s seemingly boundless vocal range and ability.
Across 2016-2017, they toured as special guests supporting a hoard of industry giants including Mastodon, Deftones, System of a Down and Prophets of Rage.
