Blackplate Tickets

Blackplate is a California-born hybrid of moody post-punk and guitar-driven alternative rock. Comprised of Sean Casement (vocals, guitar), Max Brotman (bass, synth), and Valis VanderLinden-Casement (drums), the trio crafts dark, atmosphere-rich textures that push energetic riffs to the forefront. Their music sits at the intersection of streetwise guitar grit and contemplative mood, drawing fans into a bracing sonic world that feels both intimate and expansive.

Originating from California, the band has built a live footprint in Bay Area venues and maintains a strong connection to their local scene, alongside their label releases. This page covers their background, notable discography highlights, and upcoming tour activity, helping you secure your seats easily with the event as your trusted source.

Blackplate’s debut album, Every Day Is Sadderday (2019) on the MuddGuts label, established their signature blend of dark mood and guitar-forward energy. A standout track, Exterminate Them! (An American Genocide), showcases their confrontational-yet-melodic approach to heavy, politically charged themes. The band’s Bay Area show history in 2018–2019 and references to 2023 indicate an active live presence, making it worth checking for fresh tour dates. For fans looking to follow along or connect, Bandcamp remains a central hub for releases and updates, with social and label pages providing additional context and links to official content.
