Confidence, charisma, and equally reckless in spirit – Lucifers Beard is back with another new release – The Guy With A Black Eye – inspired by a brief moment’s observance while he was going about his day.

The title comes from a guy with a black eye, his skateboard tucked under his arm as the artist, Christopher Barnes, noticed him giving off a major attitude as if “I’m owning my look. Got a problem?” Barnes immediately knew he could give it his own alt-rock n roll style, much of which is drawn from bands like The Mars Volta, Closure In Moscow, Foo Fighters, and Ty Segall, who rely heavily on guitar. “The Guy With A Black Eye” is the kind of effort that proves that Lucifers Beard is a name to watch out for with its raw and driven sound, great hooks, and his own addictive vocal style at the lead. As he’s the sole writer, melody mixer, and producer of his project, you will barely catch Barnes live because he’s as busy as a bee! You’ll see that this song itself has gained over 5 thousand streams on Spotify, whereas Lucifers Beard has over 12 million listeners on Sound Cloud, which is insane!

Sometimes we all need a positive reminder and some self-indulging which is why you have got to give “The Guy With A Black Eye” by Christopher Barnes a play to get hooked!
