The Black Moods Release "Passion"

THE BLACK MOODS

RELEASE NEW SINGLE

“PASSION”

LISTEN HERE

Rock trio The Black Moods are back with their fiery, adrenaline-fueled new single “Passion.” Pulsing with blistering hooks and heavy drums, the track speaks to the internal battle of deciding if the adoration you feel for someone is enough to keep a relationship together. The single follows the band’s earlier 2024 releases, the sensual “Sugar,” and the melodic-driven “Heaven.” 

“Our new single, ‘Passion’ doesn't pull any punches. It's a straight-ahead, high-energy, balls-out rock song,” shares vocalist/guitarist Josh Kennedy. “Jordan Hoffman, our bassist, came in with the music and brought the idea to the table. The lyrics and melody just fell into place quite easily after that. Lyrically, I think it paints a beautifully perfect picture of a passionate yet volatile relationship that could blow up at any moment. Not necessarily a healthy situation, but an entertaining one.“

Passion” is the latest offering from The Black Moods as they continue to build momentum following the release of their compelling documentary, 500 Days of Silence, in August. The documentary chronicles the band’s origins and the challenges they faced during the global pandemic's live music shutdown. Featuring commentary from rock legends Sammy Hagar (Van Halen, The Circle), Rick Springfield, Michael Anthony (Van Halen, The Circle), and Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), the film is available for streaming across multiple platforms, including Amazon, Apple TV, YouTube Movies, and more.

About The Black Moods

The Black Moods — comprised of vocalist/guitarist Josh Kennedy, drummer Chico Diaz, and bassist Jordan Hoffman — formed in the Arizona desert and have built a national audience thanks to their chart-topping releases and relentless touring schedule.

Their 2020 album Sunshine earned the band four Top 30 singles including their first-ever Top 20 charting hit with title track, “Sunshine,” which peaked at #16 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart. The trio released their fourth album, Into The Night, in 2022, and in 2023 they teamed up with The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger to record an electrifying cover of The Doors’ 1970’s hit “Roadhouse Blues” with guest vocals from rock singer-songwriter Diamante

To date, The Black Moods have garnered over 12 million streams and brought their electric performances across North America sharing stages with ZZ TOP, Shinedown, 311, Godsmack, Rick Springfield, Collective Soul, Jane’s Addiction, and Gin Blossoms among others.

The Tempe-based band are the modern-day torchbearers of ageless rock & roll, turning the genre’s timeless ingredients of electric guitar, anthemic hooks, and percussive stomps into a sound that’s both contemporary and climactic.
