Black International is a post punk-influenced group from Edinburgh, Scotland. The band was formed in late 2006 by Edinburgh College of Art graduates Stewart Allan (Vocals & Guitar) and Craig Peebles (Drums) with the intention of making stripped down, economical, brutal pop music.

Since then they have played across the UK, with highlights in 2010 including a successful showcase at GoNorth in Inverness, a slot on the renowned Solus stage for up-and-coming artists at the Wickerman Festival and a packed debut London show. Their music has received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio Scotland, Amazing Radio, FreshAir and Subcity Radio, as well as being included on numerous podcasts.

Their debut album In Debt was recorded in Glasgow with engineer Andrew Bush (We Were Promised Jetpacks, Mitchell Museum, the Seventeenth Century, the Savings & Loan) and issued on the band’s own Return of Order label on March 11th 2011. The album’s release coincided with a UK tour and a live session with Ally McCrae for BBC Radio 1, and the group featured as one of BBC Radio Scotland DJ Vic Galloway’s ‘breakout bands’ for 2011.

In January 2012 the band signed a deal with Spiralchords Records, who reissued In Debt on 13th April.
