REVIEWS FOR THREADS...
Rock-N-Roll Will Never Die
Blackcat Elliot’s nine-song blast, Threads Tearing from the Inside, revs up the rock with glitter-infused power chords ala the early NY Dolls. Just when you thought rock n roll was dead, an old friend like Blackcat Elliot shows up to remind you just how fun the endless party can be. Read about it here

Gotta Keep It Going
Blackcat Elliot plays straight up rock n roll and does it all from the little nock in the corner of the world called Albany, NY. They do it like The Ramones meeting up with The Meat Puppets for a backyard barbeque. Nasal vocals complement the raunchy yet catchy guitar hooks and the pounding of monotonous drums that is quickly accustomed into a signature style all their own. It might not turn heads of music snobs and aficionados but did anyone really think that The Ramones were musical geniuses either? Sometimes groundbreaking music takes a while to set in this might be a slight overstep but we will wait and see. Read the review here
