Black Dog Dancers

San Jose Sky

When We Were Kings

Biography

Black Dog Dancers is a taut, raw and melodic track — a punk confessional that interrogates fear, grief, loss and ultimately defiance in the face of Sorry’s life-threatening cancer diagnosis in January, 2018.   “When I sat down to write the song, I was having a rough time. My wife and kids were away and I was alone. But for whatever reason I couldn’t write…I couldn’t write. I felt really shitty. But then I plugged my guitar into an amp and the chords just came out. I immediately got a melody in mind. I looked at the clock and it was seven after midnight and that became the first line of the song. I wrote and recorded the song beginning to end in two hours. It just came out of me.”  Formerly of Amen, Sorry and the Sinatras and The Wildhearts Sorry’s solo material reflects his own Pennsylvania roots.  If punk rock is about battling the establishment, Scott Sorry’s music looks to battle the establishment within himself. “Black Dog Dancers” is a tune of hard rocking self-reflection, rueful self-examination and clenched-fist courage.  A rousing, defiant and redemptive reference to the shadowy figure that can haunt us all during bouts with mental illness.  On his new single Sorry is backed by the finely-tuned line-up from 2016’s debut LP When We Were Kings. The foursome behind Sorry are longtime bassist Roger Segal, guitarist Andy Watt, drummer LTK and keyboardist Kris Rodgers.  Scott's first album When We Were Kings debuted on the Official UK rock charts at number two.
