“Jeff [Pilson] said [Frontiers Music] wants me to put together a [supergroup]. I said nah, I don’t like the idea of a supergroup.”

Revered Hard Rock supergroup BLACK SWAN is back with their second album Generation Mind on April 8, 2022. Vocalist Robin McAuley (MSG), bassist Jeff Pilson (FOREIGNER), guitarist Reb Beach (WINGER), and drummer Matt Starr (ACE FREHLEY) first joined forces in 2020 with the release of Shake The World.

While the Frontiers Music label is known to pair up music veterans quite often, the final outcomes can be hit or miss. BLACK SWAN is undoubtedly a winning combination that manages to sound nothing like their legendary pedigrees. I had the chance to speak with frontman Robin McAuley prior to the album’s release.

Highlights include:

-Discussion of Generation Mind
-How Jeff Pilson was only supposed to produce
-Bringing the busy members together
-Are people still buying cassettes
-Embracing vinyl
-Touring plans for BLACK SWAN
-Playing with Micheal Schenker live this spring
-… and much, much more
