Kings Destroy
Combining doom, hardcore and stoner rock, Kings Destroy hope to make some noise with their debut two-song 7-inch which will be released on May 25th. One of the two songs, “Old Yeller” can be previewed on the band’s MySpace (see link at bottom of page). The band’s influences include Yob, The Melvins and Cro-Mags and their lyrics show them to be well-rounded individuals since the material ranges from science fiction to societal issues and politics. The band will play some shows in May and will be donating a portion of the profits to a Brooklyn-based youth basketball team. The plan is to record a full length in June which is to be released this fall.
