02 01 18 BLACK SWAN LANE  - REVENGE (UNMASTERED ACOUSTIC MIX) There was recently a poll on facebook on which BLACK SWAN LANE songs you would like an acoustic mix of, so by popular demand, here you go. The poll was on a new BLACK SWAN LANE facebook fan page called BLACK SWAN LANE RELAX AND BREATHE which is run by Alessandro De Matteis in Italy and Terry McGarry in England. Thanks guys! It took an entire day in the studio to complete this edited version which has several changes as well. I'm enjoying turning some of these into acoustic versions which is bringing out a lot of our picking...

Finally Here

Posted by: Jack    Tags:      Posted date:  January 12, 2018  |  1 Comment


People have been asking for some B Sides, Rarities and Cuts, so I'm giving you all a gem to listen to which was on our last album and then didn't make the final cut.  It is a fantastic song, but seemed a bit too poppy and happy for me. Can't have anything happy on a BLACK SWAN LANE album, right? It has to meet that wonderfully melodic and moody criteria. :)  This track can be played here below. Enjoy! Finally Here.

[SIC] MAGAZINE 2017 REVIEW OF UNDER MY FALLEN SKY

Posted by: Jack    Tags:  BLACK SWAN LANE, Under My Fallen Sky, [sic] magazine    Posted date:  November 20, 2017  |  No comment


http://www.sicmagazine.net/12209/black-swan-lane-under-my-fallen-sky/ Coming in from the cold.  Black Swan Lane return with their first long-player since 2014 and it has been a challenge for some fans to keep a lid on expectations. We’re talking Blade Runner 2049 levels of anticipation here. Would such feverish echelons be met? Read on, but if you just want the three word review:_ BUY THIS RECORD.

Goodbye, John.

Posted by: Jack    Tags:      Posted date:  March 14, 2017  |  6 Comments


John Lever 1961 - 2017 Our friend and musical icon, John Lever, has died.  Journalist John Robb wrote: "Lever was the engine room for some of the greatest songs of the post-punk northern eighties." I couldn't have said that better. His strength and stamina behind the drums was both outstanding and impressive. I don't know anyone who could have pulled off playing a demanding Black Swan Lane set and then a Chameleons set consecutively, almost every day for a month. The guy was a machine, but he also had a huge heart. He recently sent me his only copy of a limited vinyl re-release of the Chameleons,...
