About Cardinal Black

Cardinal Black is a Welsh alt-rock band known for blending raw emotion with powerful riffs and dynamic songwriting. Formed in 2010, the original trio featured Tom Hollister on vocals, Chris Buck on guitar, and Adam Roberts on drums. Early in their career, the band quickly attracted industry attention when British rock legend Steve Winwood invited them to record at his exclusive Wincraft Studios. Their breakthrough performance at the Sonisphere Festival that year further elevated their profile, catching the ear of Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven. Niven took the band under his wing, relocating them to Arizona with hopes of establishing a foothold in Nashville’s competitive music scene.

Despite this momentum, Cardinal Black faced challenges including homesickness, cultural adjustments, and creative differences, which eventually led Hollister to dissolve the band and return to the UK. Over the next decade, the members pursued individual paths—guitarist Chris Buck notably earned global recognition as “Best New Guitarist in the World” (2019).

Reuniting with the addition of bassist Sam Williams, Cardinal Black made a formidable comeback. Their single "Tell Me How It Feels" soared to number one on the iTunes Singles Rock Chart, while the *Cardinal Black EP* topped the iTunes Album Rock Chart, reaffirming their place in the alternative rock landscape. This resurgence highlights the band’s enduring chemistry and artistic vision, positioning Cardinal Black as a compelling force in modern alt-rock.
