Black Sunshine initially was the brainchild of extreme sports Icon Matt Reardon, one of the top rated freeskiers in the world. Reardon suffered a horrific accident that nearly lead to the amputation of his leg, and during the long recovery found comfort in songwriting. Reardon’s injury would require a total of 11 surgeries and over $200,000 in medical bills. Confined to a hospital bed off and on for 3 years and with nothing but time on his hands, Reardon played guitar and wrote over 40 songs.

With a new passion and desire to turn his songwriting into a career Reardon assembled Black Sunshine to bring his signature brand of hard rock to the masses. Ultimately, perseverance paid off as Reardon was able to recruit some of the most talented players in the business, like drummer Matt “Toast” Young, guitarist Charles Lee, and bassist Christopher Serafini.

Wasting no time, Black Sunshine took to the road and began to tour the globe. The band has since traveled the world extensively, performing in North America, Europe, Japan and New Zealand and recently performed for the US military on the Aircraft carrier USS Nimitz for thousands of American troops.

The band then entered the studio with Grammy award winning producer Bob Marlette (Shinedown, Seether, Filter, Black Sabbath) at the wheel. Together they group assembled the eleven blistering hard rock songs that comprise the groups self-tiltled debut album.

Tenacity, passion, dedication and drive, are the only four words that can possibly describe Black Sunshine. With an explosive debut album ready to be unleashed on the masses, Black Sunshine’s future looks blindingly bright.
