BLACK STAR RIDERS Premier “Soldierstown” Lyric Video

Black Star Riders are set to cap a hugely successful 2015 with two headline shows in the UK in December. These shows are in addition to their guest slot on the fast selling Def Leppard/Whitesnake double bill in the same month.

In celebration of hitting the road, the band have premiered the official lyric video for “Soldierstown”. Frontman Ricky Warwick commented on the track: ” “Soldierstown” is a song with a dark and poignant lyric tempered with a huge Celtic guitar riff. Sometimes pulling the covers over your head is not enough…”

On the band’s forthcoming UK tour, Ricky added: “To say we are excited by by being part of the Whitesnake/Def Leppard bill is an understatement. It’s always great to go on tour with your friends and Black Star Riders will also have been on tour in Europe 4 weeks prior to this… So we will be well oiled and fired up for it!”
