About Flat Black

Guitarist Jason Hook is storming out of the gates with his new band FLAT BLACK . The former Five Finger Death Punch guitarist has recruited a trio of young and talented musicians and the band has signed with Fearless Records for its debut album. Despite having reached a commercial summit with his prior band, thanks to multiple platinum certifications, sold-out arena shows, and a string of No. 1 singles, Hook remains as hungry for musical blood and thunder as the day he first picked up a guitar at the age of 6. He is eager to not only replicate but to surpass his past successes with his new band. The pandemic shutdown allowed him the time and the opportunity to assemble the right musicians, all of which share a lifelong love of music and plenty of road-worn experience. Singer Wes Horton was introduced to music at age 13, thanks to his sister and Guitar Hero. He honed his vocal chops by playing in local bands and making online videos. Bassist Nick Diltz, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, is the son of a legendary rock music photographer who brought him to concerts during his formative years. Drummer Rob Pierce hails from Nashville, aka Music City. He grew up racing go karts and at first, wanted to follow in his dad's footsteps until he joined the 4th grade band and was bitten by the music bug. He chose the snare drum over the saxophone and from that moment on, music was the only thing that mattered.
