Style

Black was influenced by groups like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. He himself says: " When I was little, I was Prince and Jane 's Addiction oriented, then at Bowie, Lou Reed, The Velvets, in my adolescence. And tons of hip hop. I have never been satisfied with just white guitarists ... ". These influences then find themselves again in the sound of the band, where they have a high recognition value thanks to the distinctive, nasal sound of Black's voice.
