King King

Exile & Grace Manhaton Records Scottish rockers deliver the goods again If you’re looking for ambiguous lyrics and musical curveballs, look elsewhere. But when it comes to delivering big soulful hooks and bluesy classic rock, King King have some of the best around in the UK right now. Their influences of early Whitesnake and Bad Company can clearly be heard in the Alan Nimmo’s riffy grooves of Heed The Warning, crunch of Tear It All

Up and his vocal delivery. The punchy mix from Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters) helps to capture the rockier edge of the band’s tight musicianship that’s been built over relentless tours and Nimmo knows just how to inject the right tasteful solo break to these songs.
