The Black Keys include singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney, two college drop-outs who mowed lawns for a living before turning their love for Mississippi blues and noise rock into a lucrative music career. After Auerbach's band didn't show for a recording session in Carney's basement studio in 2001, the two began recording a demo of their own, which would lead to the release of debut album <I>The Big Come Up</I>. Almost instantly, the Keys were inundated with comparisons to the White Stripes, but their leaning toward traditional blues and Hendrix-ish psychedelia resulted in a less pop-oriented following. They went on to release <I>Thickfreakness</I> in 2003, <I>Rubber Factory</I> the following year and <I>Magic Potion</I> in 2006. Opting to finally ditch the basement for a professional studio in 2008, the two completed <I>Attack & Release</I>, a more polished yet experimentally enhanced album with the help of producer extraordinaire Danger Mouse. - Stephanie BensonGarage Rock Revivalen720Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:21:39 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44311&rws=%2Fblack-keys%2Fmusic-videos.rss In an Ohio city renowned for its manufacturing of rubber and tires, it's fitting that one of Akron's greatest rock exports is a duo that plays bluesy bites of garage rock oozing with loads of blue-collar rawness.
