  Aug 15, 202633 min

  Meet Black Sonic Pearls! On this episode of RadioBypass, we welcome Alex Blacksonic, guitarist and founding member of Black Sonic Pearls, for a conversation about the band's story, their journey around the world, and the exciting new chapter they're creating. Alex takes us back to the formation of Black Sonic Pearls and talks about the band's rapid rise onto stages around the globe, including touring with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators. That experience also led to a friendship and musical collaboration with Todd Kerns, who appears on two recent Black Sonic Pearls releases: Earth Song feat. Todd Kerns — a dark, heavy reimagining of the Michael Jackson classic, approached through the musical spirit of Alice In Chains. Exile In Hollywood feat. Todd Kerns — an original Black Sonic Pearls track offering another glimpse into where the band is heading next. We talk with Alex about the inspiration behind both songs, how the relationship with Todd developed from touring together into creating music together, and what's ahead for Black Sonic Pearls. And we're not just talking about the music — we're PLAYING IT! After our conversation with Alex, crank it up and hear Earth Song and Exile In Hollywood in full! Hear the story. Then hear the music.
