Black Swan was formed in 2020 by lead singer Robin McAuley (MSG, Grand Prix), guitarist Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake, Dokken) and drummer Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr Big) with bass player Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, Dokken, MSG, Dio) being brought in at first as the producer and co-song writer but after some persuasion from Beach, McAuley and Starr decided to take on bass duties as well. The band's self-titled debut album was released the same year and without the band playing live at all - we all know why - the record was quite a big success so that a follow-up would show up sooner or later was a no-brainer. Thankfully, I might add because I thought the debut was great. Nothing really new under sun musically, the past of Beach, McAuley and Pilson shone through here and there.
