Modern Southern Hard Rock Band BLACKTOP MOJO has released the Official Music Video for their cover of AEROSMITH‘s classic hit “Dream On“. The video was filmed by Nolan Cox of Nolan Taylor Media in Palestine, TX at Audioworx Studio. The track, which was produced by Philip Mosley and mixed by Austin Deptula at Rosewood Studios, comes from the band’s upcoming sophomore album “Burn The Ships” which is set to release in early 2017.
“A close friend of ours suggested we do it, and was adamant that he knew it would turn out great… We asked our producer what he thought and he basically said “Well it wouldn’t hurt to try it out”. After that we learned it, went to the studio and put it down. Listening back we were pretty surprised that it even came out decent… We showed it to a small group of friends and they all said they got chill bumps. At that point we were comfortable enough that we at least hadn’t shamed the song or Aerosmith (who we have a ton of respect for, obviously), so still with a little hesitation we released it. Since then, we’ve been shocked and overwhelmed by the awesome response.” – Nathan Gillis (BLACKTOP MOJO)
Seamlessly blending melody with adrenaline fueled, heavy rock and roll, BLACKTOP MOJO draws in everyone from old metal heads to people whose radio dials have never left top 40 stations.

I love metal music. I play drums in a local band. I have big interests in IT, science and books.
