Vocalist Robin McAuley (McAuley Schenker Group), guitarist Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake), bassist Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, The End Machine, ex-Dokken), and drummer Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big), otherwise known as BLACK SWAN will return with a second album, "Generation Mind" on April 8, 2022. The first single from the album, the title track, is out now. Listen to the single and pre-order/save "Generation Mind" on CD/LP/Digital HERE: orcd.co/generationmind Picking up where their stunning, and well-received, debut album “Shake The World” left off, the foursome once again delivers a powerful hard rock statement. With the entirety of the album written and composed by McAuley, Pilson, and Beach, "Generation Mind" sees Black Swan an even more cohesive and focused unit from their debut. Once again produced and recorded by Jeff Pilson at Pilsound Studios in LA, with Matt Starr’s drums being recorded at On Deck Sound Studios, “Generation Mind" is another outstanding showcase for the musical talents of the instrumental players in the band as well as McAuley’s powerful voice, which seems to defy age. Black Swan has again produced something fresh, heavy, intensely melodic and an album that is certainly not a mish-mash of the members other bands, but it’s own unique sonic entity. “Generation Mind” is a killer slice of melodic hard rock/metal from seasoned players who defied all expectations on their debut by having gelled musically so cohesively. And now, having established their sonic signature and being more in tune with one another's songwriting, they have taken the blueprint of "Shake The World" and taken it to the next level on "Generation Mind". Whether you are a fan from “back in the day” of the members' other bands or brand new to the '80s hard rock scene and just diving in, "Generation Mind" is going to be essential listening!

Robin. Take this comment from me as you will to your head, to your toes or where ever it may go. The vocals you produce is the mold of what up scale rock music is. Simply the best a man can project.. as for the musicians that accommodate you? The best as well. Sing till your soul becomes the music we hear & feel. Michael C. F. F. (fast fingers)
How on earth is it possible for Robin's voice to be even BETTER and STRONGER than it was 35 years ago?? I love this band. They bring back that classic hair rock I grew up with, but updated enough that it isn't an insult or reductive. I listened to their last album so often. Can't wait for the new one. Great stuff.
Oh hell yeah! This album is gonna be better than the first, if that's at ALL possible!! These guy's are as tight as a surgeon's glove!! The mix is good, the guitar's rock, the vocals kill, and the drums are perfect! 🤘🤘
I saw Robin in Vegas back in 2015 on the day of my 50th birthday. He was part of Raiding the Rock Vault Group. I was like a kid in a candy store seeing him perform. I had no idea he would be part of it. 🤟
I was just cleaning my room the other day and found the guitar pic that Reb handed to me during a White snake concert years ago!! Always go front row!!
Best 2022 song at the moment : KILLER ! The low end is gorgeous, Reb's tone is perfect as usual, and the melody stuck in my mind. Gonna take the guitar for lead improvisation right now.
Best super-group to form in years. Robin may have put on some weight, but his voice still sounds like it did in 1987!!!! Pilson and Beach are a power house.
This band is incredible! I dream of seeing it live sometime! Thank you thank you for continuing to make music! I can't wait to hear the new album! Greetings from Argentina
Evintide is a professional pitch track. Sing off key it will pitch your voice to the nearist on key. It can also harmonize your voice. Great for guitar ending solos. Ladt i checked it was $3,000
I know it's unlikely to happen, which is a crying shame given the quality of the music, but I'd love to see these guys tour. The first album was great and this second one is shaping up to be even better. I want to hear the ballads off the new album because Robin has a great feel for the softer stuff (not that he doesn't rock like a b*stard! 😎)
I agree with you Kevin brother, it would be amazing to see a tour some time in the future but like you say it's high unlikely which is definitely a crying shame! And your right he does rock like a b*astard!
Agreed. A tour would be fantastic, but their schedules must be all over the place. Jeff is so damn busy with his 452 different bands! But yeah, it would be a great show.
@@JefferyAndersonMSI Indeed, and that's one of the sadder aspects of the modern rock scene. So many 'projects', not enough real bands. At least 'Black Swan' kicks out some decent music because, I suspect, there is some real chemistry between the musicians. Which makes the lack of a tour all the more galling. A lot of the projects sound as though everyone recorded their parts at home and you end up wondering why anyone bothered!
I don’t get why these bands don’t play some rock festivals like M3. As example, Reb could play Saturday with Winger and Sunday with Black Swan. (Hell, add in Whitesnake!)
This track is right in line with their last album. Loved that record. I’m sure I’ll love this one as well. Thanks for keeping Rock N Roll alive. The fans need it.
This song had me hooked as soon as that riff kicked in man and what a hell of a track it is as well! I've literally had it in repeat since it came out like!!! Killer first album and this track is anything to go off it should be one hell of an album. Good to see were still keeping the old school alive! Band full of legends and a decent back catalogue to go by as well!! Hell yeah, BLACK FUCKING SWAN!!!
Eagles Fly Is An Absolutely Awesome Spectacular Great Straight Up Rock N Roll Song By Black Swan And Totally Rocks It Kicks Major Ass. This Song Needs To Be Fully Cranked Up All The Way To Full Maximum Volume.
Robin McAuley mais uma vez dando aula. Fico impressionado com a sua técnica e poder vocal! Está top demais! O restante da banda está de parabéns também. Os caras são feras! Rock On'!

Currently Frontiers Records best 'supergroup' 👍
Michael Schenker should have NEVER let Robin go. This man’s voice is incredible and is magic with everything he touches
Those MSG albums with McAuley were pretty bad, sorry...I'll have to disagree.
Robin is on tour with Michael now.
He still sings with Michael.
@@townshendshean There was like 2 great songs on each....have to agree with you though!
@@townshendshean then why is it that the only MSG music you hear on radio or Sirius is with Robin?
Robin. Take this comment from me as you will to your head, to your toes or where ever it may go. The vocals you produce is the mold of what up scale rock music is. Simply the best a man can project.. as for the musicians that accommodate you? The best as well. Sing till your soul becomes the music we hear & feel.

He is an artist that cares about the love of music. He takes care of his voice just like Frank Dimino and Joey Tempest😀
I had forgotten how good a voice Robin McAuley has.
Reb is just a genius..🤘🤘🤘
Black Swan continues to put out quality material - Hope there is a tour on the horizon....
Black Swan Rocks! 🤘
Finally some MORE ROCK!!!
One of the best groups going currently !!
What a group of talent..Robin's voice is timeless..love it!!💗
Вот это сочетание вокала с сопровождением!Да ещё Ред Бич в команде!🤘👍☝️
Hands down the best band of the decade!!!
Oh hell yeah! This album is gonna be better than the first, if that's at ALL possible!! These guy's are as tight as a surgeon's glove!! The mix is good, the guitar's rock, the vocals kill, and the drums are perfect!

'80 Dokken style,i love this band Robin is a Monster 😎🎸
Food for the soul. Awesome! 🎸🎶🤘

AND THEN THE VOCALS CAME ONLINE!

🤘🤘
What a great line up.
Absolutely fire! On all levels….love that Reb is playing those classic bluesy licks on steroids….A++
Heavy metal and hard rock has moved way past the blues
These old men sound great!
Reb is a total bada$$, love that guy!!
This band is incredible! I dream of seeing it live sometime! Thank you thank you for continuing to make music! I can't wait to hear the new album! Greetings from Argentina
How the hell does Robin still sound this good. Absolute monster of a tune. Love it.
Eventide,
Running the best vocals through an Eventide will give an amazing outcome
@@michaelbayne2905 what does this eventide do to the voice?
Evintide is a professional pitch track. Sing off key it will pitch your voice to the nearist on key. It can also harmonize your voice. Great for guitar ending solos. Ladt i checked it was $3,000
Superstars!!!
Top class musicians here. Years of great gigs behind them. A new supergroup I feel.
Super impressed with this one. Fantastic song boys.

There have been so many of these groups put together, but they never tour, or they don't one off in Europe and that's it.
