Black Mountain is the Canadian quintet bringing back old school psychodelic rock. Comprised of friends Stephen McBean, Amber Webber, Matt Camirand, Jeremy Schmidt, and Joshua Wells, the band's Black Mountain tickets sell to fans who wish for a brand of rock rarely played by modern bands.
The group is hardly simply a professional band. Three of the bandmates work for Insite, a non-profit attempting to curb deaths due to overdoses among the needle drug-using population in Vancouver.
Black Mountain is supported by the Black Mountain Army, a network of family, friends, and local artists whose role, the band jokes, is greatly exaggerated. At times the media will characterize the Black Mountain as the front line of the group, as if the whole thing were literally a overarching social movement. Rather, the "army" is merely a group of people whose support the band thoroughly appreciates.
