Black Map’s Ben Flanagan sat down with 107.7 The Bone’s Chasta and Baby Huey to talk about the band’s upcoming album Hex, dropping May 9 via Spinefarm Records. Ahead of the release, Black Map will headline a special matinee show at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco on Sunday, May 4, with support from Stateline Empire and Roderdam.
Flanagan opened up about the inspiration behind their hard-hitting single “Come and Get It,” pulling sonic influence from James Bond themes and everyday sounds. He also shared stories behind their gritty music videos, why he switched from guitar to bass for Black Map, and how the Bay Area rock scene has evolved. The conversation ends on a heartfelt note as Ben reflects on the cathartic power of music and his connection to the fans.
