KINGSWOOD are a four-piece slab of classic indie rock from Melbourne Australia consisting of Fergus Linacre (lead vocals), Alex Laska (lead guitar & backing vocals), Jeremy Hunter (bass & vocals) and Justin Debrincat (drums & backing vocals).
After touring the east coast with Stonefield and The Delta Riggs, packing out the Northcote Social Club and other venues in their own right and their first and second singles "Yeah Go Die" and "Medusa" receiving high rotation on Triple J, the band are stoked to release their eagerly anticpated 'Change of Heart' EP.
2012 will be a massive year for KINGSWOOD, so be sure to experience them live when you get the chance.
They Said It…
Gemma Pike (triple j)
"QOTSA-eqsue with an über rock break down. Looking forward to more."
Jaymz Clements (Editor - triple j magazine)
"KINGSWOOD are the perfect blend of rip-snorting, muscular rock that claims Josh Homme as its patron saint, and melodic stoner punk – Yeah Go Die is a sublime, brawny rush and should see them stomping all over the pansy-tight jeaned poseur jerks who've somehow appropriated rock'n'roll from its sweaty, kick-arse origins."
Rosie Beaton (triple j)
"Rock on KINGSWOOD! Yeah Go Die is a pumping tune, whip lashing indeed and very stoner-rock."
Nathan Wood (V-Music)
"KINGSWOOD's Yeah Go Die is a stripped down, no bullshit punch in the face of everything that's rock. There's no computers, no synths, no production tricks – just a bunch of dudes playing their instruments hard, fast and loud. If you want to take your shirt off, let your gut hang out, pound a beer and blow an ear drum, then get this, load up and let loose."
