Black Country, New Road joins host Raina Douris
For a lot of bands, losing their lead singer might be the end. But when Black Country New Road’s frontman stepped down a few years back, the remaining six members re-calibrated, and kept going. Their first studio album since the lineup change is called Forever Howlong, and saxophonist Lewis Evans and drummer Charlie Wayne talk about how the band’s super collaborative spirit made it happen.
