The Black Fever is a post-punk indie rock band based in Toronto. This band emerged from the ashes of two others: The Daybreak (who notably: opened for The Killers, stellastarr*, The Music, Maroon 5 and The Sounds; and received radio play on commercial and college radio including 102.1 The Edge) and Fire Hydrant (who notably played alongside Uncut, Born Ruffians, Rural Alberta Advantage and The Ghost is Dancing).
The Black Fever began performing live around Toronto in September 2009, and released their first album in 2010. The album `Romanticism` received favourable mentions in NOW Magazine, The Toronto Star, and ChartAttack, and garnered campus radio play across Canada.
In October 2011, the band began recording their second album, "Revisionist." Produced by Jon Hawkes (Les Gars, The Outfit) and mastered by Noah Mintz (Lacquer Channel Mastering), the 10 song album was completed in January, 2012, and marks a dramatic step forward in terms of songwriting and production from their previous effort. The album "Revisionist" is scheduled to be released on March 3, 2012.
The Black Fever is composed of: Shoe on vocals and guitar, Pat Bramm on bass, and Dan Purpura on drums. Look for The Black Fever to continue gigging around the Toronto area in support of their album. Let the fever spread...
