Texas rockers Blacktop Mojo are ready to tear through the live scene while gearing up for their explosive new album.

Texas rock juggernauts Blacktop Mojo are making waves once again, and they’re not about to stop anytime soon. Currently in the midst of their Texas Checkmate Tour, the band has unleashed a barrage of new dates for the third leg, ensuring that their electrifying presence will be felt across the nation. With a lineup that includes powerhouse vocalist Matt James and skilled guitarists Ryan Keifer and Malcolm Booher, the road ahead is set to be a heavy metal pilgrimage for fans.

Mark your calendars, metalheads! Blacktop Mojo will hit the following cities: June 11 in Cleveland, OH at Mercury Music Lounge, followed by a slew of dates through mid-August, including stops in Raleigh, NC, and Atlanta, GA. This is your chance to witness the raw energy of their live performance, which promises to be an unforgettable experience. And if you’re lucky enough to be in the vicinity, don’t miss their Studio Listening Party on September 26 at Rosewood Studios in Tyler, Texas - the birthplace of their new album.

Speaking of which, the anticipation for their forthcoming record, titled Discount Fireworks, is already building. Available for pre-order on both vinyl and CD, each order comes with an exclusive download of the track 'Gutshot'—a taste of the explosive sound that awaits. Vocalist Matt James emphasizes the importance of these pre-orders, stating that they play a crucial role in financing the recording and marketing processes for this independent band.

“Those of you that have already pre-ordered, you guys are the sh*t and we can’t thank you enough,” says James, underscoring the band's connection with their fanbase. The new album is set to drop in October, and the cover art promises to be as striking as their sound.

With their relentless touring and a new album on the horizon, Blacktop Mojo is poised for greatness. Make sure to check out their full tour itinerary and grab your tickets before they sell out—this is one ride you won't want to miss!
