Hard rock supergroup BLACK STAR RIDERS will quickly be storming stages across the U.S. in support of their highly-acclaimed debut album All Hell Breaks Loose. The headlining trek of thirty-four shows launches tonight in San Antonio, Texas and will wind its way to Falls Church, Virginia on June 22nd. Six performances will be co-headlined by SKID ROW.

Featuring veteran rock musicians Ricky Warwick (THIN LIZZY / The Almighty) on vocals, Scott Gorham (THIN LIZZY / 21 Guns) on guitar, Damon Johnson (THIN LIZZY / Alice Cooper / Brother Cane) on guitar, Marco Mendoza (THIN LIZZY / Ted Nugent / Whitesnake / Blue Murder) on bass, and Jimmy DeGrasso (Alice Cooper / Megadeth / Y&T) on drums, All Hell Breaks Loose was produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Rush) & debuted on the American Billboard Heatseekers chart at #5 & the Billboard Hard Music chart at #19 last May.

BLACK STAR RIDER guitarist Damon Johnson recently spoke with Houston Press journalist Bob Ruggiero about the recording sessions for the band’s debut album:

“I give [album producer Kevin Shirley] a lot of credit. Kevin pushed Scott, and Scott needed to be pushed. But I'll admit I was super-nervous when [vocalist Ricky Warwick and I] played Scott the demos, some of it recorded on my phone! But he liked everything we played for him so it turned from fear to elation!”
