Formed in 2011 and, Black Income is a Danish Alternative Rock Band that comes out of the 90’ – Grunge and Hard Rock scene praised by the critics from all over the world for the latest album Noise Pollution.
Black Income describe themselves as ‘a new rock identity rooted in the waters of the grunge genre’. Their lyrical expression comprises honesty and realism, and originality is said to be what drives the band, though artists such as Queens Of The Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots inspire them.
After only one year together, in 2013, Black Income teamed up with producer Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp, D-A-D) and entered the legendary Medley Studio in Copenhagen, where bands like Radiohead, D-A-D and Kent has recorded some of their best albums.
In 2016 the album Noise Pollution was released, its twelve hard-hitting and extremely well-written rock-tunes with focus in the riff and the catchy melody, from the guys who are smitten by the melodic grunge of the 90’s. Without repeating the history, Black Income brings a new dimension and a new level to the genre!
The Debut album Noise Pollution tells the story of a world in chaos, where everybody knows best and doesn’t listen to each other. A World where shouting out your own views and opinions while being deaf to other people – That’s Noise Pollution! The lyrics is about the massive impact the social media has on us and about the materialistic world we all are a part of. It’s about true feelings like love and hate.
After some years of touring with their latest album Noise Pulution, in 2017, the band once again has entered the legendary Medley Studio in Copenhagen with Soren Andersen and started recording their second album, to be released summer 2018.
As the name of the band suggests, there’s an undercurrent of sarcasm and black humor in their brand of hard rock, as demonstrated on Noise Pollution, their debut LP from 2016. The band have released their new track Drug recently below!

We managed to catch up with the band as they talked about their latest single and more!
So how has your latest album/EP gone so far with fans then?
Our first full length album “Noise Pollution” did stir things up around the globe, and we did get some prette if not splendid reviews from a lot of countries, we think we’re lucky to have such loyal fans, who help keep our music alive by spreading the news, everytime we release something new… thats awesome.
Tell us something about the release no one knows?
Well if your referring to our latest single “Drug”, Radio’s and Fan’s has really taken it for a spin, and we had over 10K plays on Spotify within the first 1-2 weeks, that’s ok for a new single.. so we’re very humble that people care so much for our music.. that’s for sure.
If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?
Don’t know really… it could be various band’s.. but what we really would love was to try and do something new, rather than work together with another band… but sure if the offer somehow got to us, we sure would love to work together with The Foo’s or AIC or any kind of band who has roots in the 90’s.
How has your latest single been received?
“Drug” is doing pretty good, it’s brand new so it’s hard to tell yet how things are going, but from the looks of it by now, it’s by far our most popular Track.. that’s a good thing… looking back at “Feel’s Like A Storm” our first single from the forthcoming album, it’s on pretty heavy radio rotation around the globe..
Can you tell us about the meaning behind the track?
“Drug” is more the Anti Drug perspective.. meaning how people fill them self with Drugs these days to cope with reality or their job for that matter… and not to forget all the Weeknd Junkies and what’s this is doing to our society.. how we see people Racing Away everyday, to please a system they don’t have any control over… that’s more or less the meaning of the song.
What tours do you have coming up, and what can you tell us about them?
Well we have a couple of gig’s in the summer here in Denmark, and meanwhile we’re finishing up our Second Album, so it’s really too early to tell anything about the Tour Plans for next year… but sure we will hit the road again, when our album is out..
What venue are you most looking forward to playing the most, and why?
We have played in alot of great venues, but we don’t really have a favorite one, different venue and different people create different vibes, and that’s what music is really about, coming together with the audience and create magic on the spot as an artform.
What else can we expect from you as we head towards 2018?
You can expect a brand new full lenght album, and before that we plan to release another single, in a couple of month or so… so stay tuned,, and get social with us 🙂
