The Black Clouds Team Up with Mudhoney's Mark Arm to Release Pulverizing 'VICE'

New Jersey hard rockers The Black Clouds announce their second single "Vice," featuring vocals from Mark Arm of Mudhoney, in light of the upcoming release of their third studio album After All.

Recorded at the Foo Fighters' Studio 606 with legendary producer Jack Endino, the band had all the ingredients for a worthy hit. Explains guitarist Dan Matthews, "We were really psyched when Mark Arm agreed to sing 'Vice'. He came into the studio like a punk rock tornado and ripped through it in one or two takes. It was incredible."

Highlighting heavy guitar distortion, hard rock progressions, and Arm's riotous vocals, the track is a testament to punk rock anthems everywhere.
