Singer Tom Hollister, guitarist Chris Buck, and drummer Adam Roberts release one of the most exciting albums of the first half of 2025 under the name Cardinal Black.
"Midnight At The Valencia" is a clever mix of rock, blues, soul, rhythm&blues, and refined pop that finds explosive expression in 11 tracks performed with enviable passion by the band formed in Cardiff in 2021.
Hollister's effective vocals, Buck's fine guitar work, and Roberts' precise drumming, combined with simple but never banal songwriting, make "Midnight At The Valencia" a beautifully crafted piece of work.
