A high-octane indie rock duo born in Canada and based out of Austin, Texas, Black Pistol Fire emerged in the early 2010s with an uncompromising amalgam of no-frills Southern rock, blues, and gritty garage punk. They found mainstream success with the release of their fifth long-player, 2017's Deadbeat Grafitti, which yielded the hit singles "Lost Cause" and "Bully." The duo issued the muscular single "Hope in Hell" in late 2020 ahead of the arrival of their sixth full-length effort, Look Alive, which arrived in 2021.
