History

Formation

David Lyle formed the band at age 13. He was named the "Outstanding Guitarist" of the mid-US region by Banzai Magazine.[7] In 2010, Lyle became the band's front man, singing lead, playing guitar and writing the songs. Rapper Kutt Calhoun joined Lyle on "Pressure", released as a single on March 8, 2011.

The band's first album was The American Dream.[8] released on March 6, 2012. "Take It to the Limit" was released as a single on May 26, 2012, peaking at #59.[citation needed]

Black Oxygen opened KQRC’s 20th Anniversary Rockfest in Kansas City, with over 65,000 in attendance. This caught the attention of Sevendust frontman Lajon Witherspoon. Black Oxygen was invited to become Sevendust's support act on tour. The tour launched on July 10, 2012, at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Black Oxygen returned to Kansas City on September 22, 2012, to headline the first Rock N’ Rage festival at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre with an audience of 12,000. The band toured across the US including 25 dates with Nonpoint and Taproot and 25 dates with Hurt and Smile Empty Soul.

Black Oxygen released their second single "The American Dream" on November 7, 2012,[9][10] which charted at #48 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart.[11]
