“The Only Life Worth Living spans the course of reaching rock bottom with a bank of broken hearts, to throwing caution to the wind and then cycling all the way back round again,” say the band. “Our twist of folk instrumentation with modern rock entangles the collection of tracks into a whiplash of energy, while remaining loyal to the Black Water County sound.”
The album is awash with frantic juggernauts of rousing guitars and frenetic drums, choruses that will remain long in the memory and rhythms that simply demand movement. Recorded with their close friend and long-term producer Lewis Johns at The Ranch in Southampton, The Only Life Worth Living follows the band’s debut album Taking Chances in 2017 and the follow-up Comedies and Tragedies in 2020. To coincide with the release, the band will embark on a headline UK tour, as follows:

Hailing from the South West and now celebrating a decade making music together, Black Water County have deviated over time from the well-trodden path of alcohol-fueled teenage insolence towards an aspiration to achieve affinity through tales of the downtrodden and the heartbroken. With a necessary touch of both spirit and spirits, naturally.
The band have shared stages with legendary acts such as Less Than Jake, Flogging Molly, The Bronx and The Skints, and their prestigious UK festival appearances have included WOMAD, Boomtown Fair, Beautiful Days, Belladrum, Black Deer, Camp Bestival, Larmer Tree, Teddy Rocks and Takedown, alongside hundreds of appearances in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, The Netherlands and France.
BLACK WATER COUNTY are: Shan Byrom – vocals and tin whistle | Tim Harris – vocals and bass | Bradley Hutchings Clarke – guitar | Gavin Coles – guitar, mandolin and banjo | Ollie Beaton – drums
