Paint It Black

Paint It Black is a Philadelphia, United States-based punk group that forms in 2002 and remains active. The band plays hardcore punk with a melodic hardcore edge, using fast tempos, memorable melodies and vocals that move between shouting and singing.

Line-up and related acts

The group features Dan Yemin on vocals and lyrics, Dave Hause, and Matthew Miller. Yemin is also known for playing guitar in Lifetime and Kid Dynamite, both New Jersey and Philadelphia punk and hardcore bands. The band has also included drummer David Wagenschutz, who has played with Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Good Riddance and None More Black. Josh Agran and Andy Nelson are also associated with the group in the provided information, and both play in Philadelphia hardcore punk band Affirmative Action Jackson. Wagenschutz later leaves to focus on family and on the band Higher Giant, and Jared Shavelson of The Hope Conspiracy and None More Black replaces him.

Releases

Paint It Black releases three full-length albums on Jade Tree Records: CVA, Paradise and New Lexicon. In 2009 the band issues nine new songs across two 7-inch EPs rather than a full album. Amnesia appears on Bridge Nine Records, while Surrender appears on Fat Wreck Chords.
