Hard Rock ‘n’ Roll duo PERRY & BLACKWELL are back with a bang! Fresh off the release of their self-made and self-recorded debut EP, the long-time collaborators have unleashed a brand-new lyric video for one of the most electrifying tracks on the record.
 
The song, built around an addictive open-string ascending riff, was originally kicked around by Jake before evolving into the full-throttle, sludgy headbanger it is today. As per their tried-and-true process, Jon and Jake constructed the track’s hard-hitting structure together, ensuring it’s an absolute beast to play live—one that’s sure to get audiences jumping and moshing.
 
Lyrically, the song is a rebellious anthem against the grind of daily life. It captures the frustration of being trapped in a relentless rat race, surrounded by pettiness and societal expectations. The message? No matter how exhausting or overwhelming it gets, “I ain’t gonna quit!” Through clever wordplay and references to old sayings, Perry & Blackwell channel their frustration into an empowering refusal to succumb to the chaos.
 
“This track is pure energy,” the duo explains. “It’s about working hand over fist to maintain your sanity, integrity, and morals in a world that constantly tests you. It’s raw, real, and straight to the point.”

The new lyric video brings this defiant spirit to life, amplifying the track’s intensity and delivering a visual punch that matches the music’s unapologetic force. Fans of heavy, sludgy, and riff-driven rock won’t want to miss this one.
 
Perry & Blackwell’s debut EP is available now on all major streaming platforms, and the lyric video is live on YouTube. Brace yourself for a sonic onslaught—this is rock ‘n’ roll, done their way.

Perry & Blackwell, the electrifying Hard Rock duo who’ve been setting stages ablaze since their high school days, are back with a bang! Their latest single, No Money, is a gritty, riff-heavy anthem that pulls no punches, taken straight from their recently released debut album, Volume 1.
 
“No Money” dives headfirst into the struggles of financial accountability with biting sarcasm and a raw, metaphorical edge. Built on Jon Perry’s hooky sliding riff and Jake Blackwell’s lyrical punch, the track is a testament to the pair’s seamless collaboration. “The song is about someone who isn’t having a good financial time and is ignorant to the choices that brought them there,” explains the duo.
 
The accompanying lyric video brings the song’s themes to life with striking visuals, emphasizing the duo’s bold message and unrelenting energy.

Volume 1 is the long-awaited debut album from Perry & Blackwell, a project born out of their shared passion for music and a drive to create something entirely their own. “It’s been a few years since our last band ended, but here we are breathing new life and unleashing a new project,” says the duo.
 
Crafted over three years in their self-built Bunks Studio on a Midlands farm, the album is a testament to their DIY ethos and determination. “We worked on these songs for a long time. Crafting them, recording them, and we are super proud,” they share.

Volume 1 is available on all digital platforms

The duo’s unique writing process combines years of riff-making and song-structuring experience. “After our last band came to an end, we tried to revive it, but it didn’t work out. So, it was Jon’s vision for us to move on, write, and record with full artistic control. We’ve basically come full circle—from recording jams on tape recorders in high school to creating this album with better equipment.”
 
Jon & Jake’s history is steeped in rock ‘n’ roll. Having played in bands such as Zipcode, High Trailer, Conform to None, and Minority for the Masses, the duo has decades of experience rocking stages across South Africa. With Volume 1, they mark a bold new chapter in their musical journey, embracing their past while forging their future.
