Exclusive: Black Star Riders premiere acoustic version of 'Ain't The End Of The World'
Black Star Riders have premiered a rousing acoustic rendition of their current single ‘Ain't The End Of The World’ exclusively on Planet Rock.
The stripped-back version of the Planet Rock playlisted single sees frontman Ricky Warwick and bassist Robbie Crane belt out the track with vim and vigour.
Watch it first right here:
Commenting on the studio version of the track, Ricky Warwick says: “‘Ain’t The End Of The World’ is trademark Black Star Riders showcasing the dual guitars of Christian Martucci and Scott Gorham perfectly.
“It’s a song of hope, positivity and seeing the light at the end of a dark tunnel in a world of uncertainty.”
The first Black Star Riders album to feature drummer Chad Szeliga and guitarist Christian Martucci, ‘Another State Of Grace’ is released on Friday 6th September via Nuclear Blast.
‘Another State of Grace’ is available on CD, vinyl and vinyl picture disc, limited edition boxset and limited edition light green vinyl. Pre-order it right here.
Def Leppard and Planet Rock’s Joe Elliott enthuses: “I’ve been an ardent supporter ever since they started their journey having moved away from being Thin Lizzy and becoming a legitimate band in their own right. For me, this is by far their best effort to date.”

1. Tonight The Moonlight Let Me Down
2. Another State Of Grace
3. Ain’t The End Of The World
4. Underneath The Afterglow
5. Soldier In The Ghetto
