Some bands talk their way into opportunities or use algorithms to feign blog hype. Others drag themselves up by the teeth.

In 2012, electrified soul-n-roll gang King Cannons arrive at their debut album, The Brightest Light, because tangled crowds of people shout their blistering choruses back to them in ramshackle band rooms. Because the band’s six members have fought poverty and hardship to stay together. Because there’s something to their songs that both reminds of rag street poets from days gone by and speaks the truth of everyday lives, heartache and boozy nights of the present.

The KING CANNONS road has been long and winding, veering through remote parts of rural NZ and the UK all the way to their current HQ: Melbourne, Australia. 
 
It's a simple ethos that hasn't changed since day one. Soul food. Six good friends coming together to create music crafted from their many different individual influences and inspirations. 
 
The result is ferocious. A constantly evolving rock n roll sound that is unmistakable. 
 
From Springsteen to The Clash, Chuck Berry to the ease of a Jamaican Sunday,  KING CANNONS play with ferocity and passion, committed to bringing their characteristic vibe to each and every stage.

It’s music for everyone who shares in that sentiment.  It's immediate and impacting, always on point, and exactly what you need to get moving.

The KING CANNONS road has been long and winding, veering through

remote parts of rural NZ and the UK all the way to their current HQ: Melbourne,

Australia. 

 

It's a simple ethos that hasn't changed since day one. Soul food. Six good friends coming

together to create music crafted from their many different individual influences and

inspirations. 

 

The result is ferocious. A constantly evolving rock n roll sound that is unmistakable. 

 

From Springsteen to The Clash, Chuck Berry to the ease of a Jamaican Sunday,  KING

CANNONS play with ferocity and passion, committed to bringing their characteristic vibe to each and every stage.

 

It’s music for everyone who shares in that sentiment.  It's immediate and impacting, always on point, and exactly what you need to get moving.   

 

Following the success of their self-titled debut EP featuring the singles “Take The Rock” and “Teenage Dreams “, KING CANNONS dove into the studio and have recently completed tracking their debut album with producer Tom Larkin (Shihad) and engineer Steve Schram (Cat Empire, The Vasco Era). The first single "Stand Right Up" is out now and the much anticipated album is due in early 2012.

 

After a highly successful national tour supporting The Living End, KING CANNONS are back in the rehearsal room preparing for headline tours, new singles and festival appearances to round out a big 2011.  

 

“KING CANNONS were nothing less than a revelation, track them down online, download their singles, buy their merch and pray for a speedy return”.  XPRESS
