Tuesday May 20th, Cave In frontman, Stove Bredsky (a.k.a. Steve Brodsky) released his solo album, abtly entitled The Black Ribbon Award. After recording in 2007 with his then side project, Pet Genius, Bredsky returned to his familiar one-man band format to record the eighteen melancholy tracks that make up Black Ribbon. The songs were originally written in the 90s while Bredsky was still fronting the now on hiatus Cave In. For Bredsky Black Ribbon is ostensibly a familiar return to the melodic riffs and post-punk melodies that trademark both his original work and that with Cave In. The Black Ribbon Award is available to stream on Hydra Head Record’s website or for purchase on CD.
