Black Lab is an alternative rock band founded by Paul Durham in Berkeley, California, and currently based in Los Angeles and Montana.

They released their debut album on Geffen Records, entitled Your Body Above Me, and scored two rock radio hits in the US, "Wash It Away"[1][2] and "Time Ago".[3] After leaving Geffen in 1999, the band signed to Epic Records, contributing a track to Sony's Spider-Man before leaving the label.

Since 2003, the band has independently released nine full-length albums,[4] an EP, and a live concert DVD/CD set. Passion Leaves a Trace, released in 2007, featured the single "Mine Again" and gained significant exposure through internet media outlets[5] and a film trailer.[6] "This Night" was used as the theme song for the season six trailer for FX's The Shield,[7] and was featured in House[8] and Banshee. Paul Durham and Andy Ellis are currently the core members.

The band works with Secret Road Music Services to make the band's music available for licensing.
