BLACK WATER GREED launched as a force in the music industry in Lancaster, PA in 2012 while
riding the wave of the wild popularity of their song “Walk Away,” which has amassed over 1
million views on YouTube! Black Water Greed, whose name was stumbled upon while tossing
about song titles, is now comprised of Tyson; drums, Michael Mundy; lead vocals, and Ios
(Andy) Patzer; guitars. Cumulatively, Black Water Greed creates a sound that stands in a
category of its own. They refer to their music as “classy rock” – which is a marriage of the

classic rock from the 70s and 80s, but with a modern vocal sound. Their influences musically
run the gamut – from early Grand Funk Railroad to Shinedown. They have opened for such
iconic bands as Kix and Adrenaline Mob. They look forward to sharing stages with many other
notable names in the near future and presenting their evolved sound which has morphed
into a more mature approach and harder edge to their music. Currently, they are awaiting
the January release of their much-anticipated debut album “Circle Of Sin,” which features 11
dynamic BWG originals, produced by David Mobley. I recently had the pleasure to sit down

and chat with Michael, Jj, and Andy and delve into the history of the band, discuss their future
plans, and of course, chat about their upcoming album release.
