Canadian rock outfit Attack in Black was formed in the early 2000s in Welland, Ontario, Canada. Early comparisons of their music were made to aggressive post-hardcore bands like Gainesville, FL's <a href="spotify:artist:4dmaYARGTCpChLhHBdr3ff">Hot Water Music</a>, but the quartet later integrated more of a folk edge to their punk musings and claimed as much influence from acts like <a href="spotify:artist:6v8FB84lnmJs434UJf2Mrm">Neil Young</a> as they did <a href="spotify:artist:5sdxGvwxI1TkTA6Pu2jnTb">Refused</a>. Attack in Black consisted of vocalist/guitarist Daniel Romano, his drummer brother Ian Romano and vocalist/guitarist Spencer Burton; Ian Kehoe replaced original bass player <a href="spotify:artist:1gXGLszuWE2upaXP2cRIsN">Matt Ellis</a> following the release of a self-titled EP. The band signed to Toronto-based label Dine Alone Records in the spring of 2006, joining a roster that included artists like <a href="spotify:artist:4V5SMPpyCIxr6VpvJ5cWpp">Moneen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:74gcBzlQza1bSfob90yRhR">City and Colour</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2Au2mS47rMRkqbU4XJqKMh">Bedouin Soundclash</a>. (In fact, some members of Attack in Black served as part of the backing band for <a href="spotify:artist:53RsXctnNmj9oKXvcbvzI2">Alexisonfire</a> guitarist/singer Dallas Green's side project <a href="spotify:artist:74gcBzlQza1bSfob90yRhR">City and Colour</a>.) The Widows EP and Northern Towns 7" both surfaced before Attack in Black issued the full-length Marriage via Dine Alone in July 2007, which featured a healthy mix of rock, folk, and yes, some punk. The Curve of the Earth followed that fall solely as a digital release and limited-edition vinyl. ~ Corey Apar, Rovi
