Black Country Communion's self-titled debut album was originally released during September 2010 to rave reviews. It entered the official UK album chart at #13 and shot straight to #1 in the official UK rock album chart. BCC's debut also hit #3 in Classic Rock magazine's Critics Album of the Year poll, while Planet Rock radio listeners voted them as the Best New Band of 2010. BCC are currently mixing their second studio album. The as yet untitled album, produced by Kevin Shirley, and rumoured to be their most explosive to date, is scheduled for June 2011 release.
