Comprised of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, the band has gained a loyal following with their raw and gritty sound. Influenced by classic blues artists such as Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, The Black Keys have crafted their own unique style that blends elements of garage rock, soul, and psychedelic music. With their powerful guitar riffs and infectious melodies, they have become one of the most successful rock bands of the 21st century.
Since their formation, The Black Keys have released numerous critically acclaimed albums including "Brothers," "El Camino," and "Turn Blue." Their music has garnered widespread praise for its authenticity and emotional depth. Known for their energetic live performances, the duo has toured extensively around the world, captivating audiences with their electrifying stage presence.
With multiple Grammy Awards under their belt, The Black Keys continue to push boundaries and evolve as artists. Their latest album "Let's Rock" showcases a return to their roots while still exploring new sonic territories. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering them for the first time, The Black Keys' music is sure to leave a lasting impression.

'attack and release' is the black keys fifth full-length album. the album follows their 2006's critically acclaimed 'magic potion', which the chicago tribune proclaimed, 'a gritty, wild, minimalist masterpiece.' produced by danger mouse (gnarls barkley, gorillaz, the grey album), 'attack and release' was recorded at engineer paul hamann's illustrious suma studio outside cleveland, ohio. initial collaboration began when danger mouse (a.k.a. brian burton) approached the band to write songs for an album he was developing with the late r&amp;b legend ike turner. as the band began composing tracks for turner early last year, though, they quickly realized they were actually laying the groundwork for a new album of their own. 'attack and release' thus became the black keys' first collaborative effort, as it morphed into their own album with danger mouse as producer. by recording in an actual studio (another first), guitarist-vocalist dan auerbach and drummer patrick carney were given the opportunity to add a variety of instruments to their usual simple set-up - including organ, moog, and banjo. "after recording our previous albums in a basement, we were ready to go somewhere else," danger mouse came in as our collaborator. he has a real ear for melody and arrangement and that was a big part of this record". besides auerbach, carney, and danger mouse's work, other contributions on 'attack and release' include guitarist marc ribot and multi-instrumentalist ralph carney (patrick's uncle) - both veterans of, among other things, tom waits' band. the closing track, 'things ain't like they used to be,' features auerbach singing along side eighteen-year-old bluegrass / country-singer jessica lea mayfield.
