Black Baccara
We are Black Baccara, an ethereal alt-rock band from Nashville TN. Some of our main influences are Evanescence, Strange Boutique, The Cure, and Paramore. We love to incorporate elements from various genres as our members all have very different influences such as goth, grunge, pop-punk, and metal. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of alt-rock with a dreamy atmosphere and a slightly heavier driving force at the same time. Our goal is to create music that will resonate deep with listeners on an emotional and musical level.
