Black Dog Moon are a five-piece blues-infused rock band from Ireland, known for their powerful performances and unique sound. Formed in 2020, the band quickly made a name for itself in the local music scene.
They have already been played on BBC Radio ‘Precious Metal’ show and secured features in several publications including Rock N’ Load Magazine, Soundcheck, Bamni and The Beat Ireland.
To date, they have played all the main rock n blues haunts in Northern Ireland several times now including The Diamond Rock Club Ahoghill, Bangor Rock n Blues, Cookstown Rock n Blues and headlined the main stage on the Saturday night at Hilden Beer and Music Festival at end of August 2025 marking their third appearance at the festival.
The band released the first single taken from their forthcoming new album ‘Hell and Back’ single ‘Neon Queen’ on 16th September 2025 and the track quickly built momentum with extensive global radio airplay including WDNF Philly (North America), NI Rocks (Northern Ireland), Homemade Radio (United Kingdom), The Indie Scene With DJ Rob (North America), Rock Rage Radio (North America), Banks Radio Australia (Australia), Emerging Rock Bands (United Kingdom), Dundalk FM (Ireland), KTCR FM (United Kingdom), Forest FM (United Kingdom and much more.
Black Dog Moon are now inviting people to journey with them with their new album ‘Hell And Back’ which is now due for release on Friday 28th November 2025 just in time for the band’s Planet Rockstock 2025 live appearance on Saturday 29th November 2025.
Speaking about the new album, Conal Montgomery explained: “I am excited for this release, it shows our love and diversity of all types of rock and blues. I think we have come a long way in a short space of time. Our reward is Planet Rockstock, hopefully we can make an impression and find the right contacts to bring the band to the next level. Our goal is to make the scene and have some good support slots and hopefully a tour of UK and Ireland in the not-too-distant future. I hope this record helps someone, lots of emotion in there, happy, sad fun and tragedy but a drive to never give up.”
The album was produced by Steve Fearnley at Narrow Water Studio in Warrenpoint and is the band’s second album. It once again shows the band’s diversity which their first album Black Dog Moon had in abundance. Conal says – “Steve just gets us and we see him as part of us, a very talented and beautiful human being”.
With no promoter or booking agent, the band have secured a slot at this year’s Planet Rockstock in Trecco Bay Wales on Saturday 29th November 2025 playing same day as Wayward Sons, Massive Wagons and Ugly Kid Joe.
