Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
Never give in, never surrender to the beat of another’s heart, not unless you love them without boundaries or without restrictions, for in the soul and existence of this Maverick acceptance of life, our senses are awakened to the tune of blossoming expertise and the belief that there are no limitations when you see life has no borders, that you can colour in past the margins and confines of someone else’s imposed restrictions.

Friends and loved ones sometimes have a way of sending you into exile, that you have no right to be where you are, that your opinion does not matter, that your dreams are nothing but dust caught in an updraft; it often takes those that you only hear over the wild speakers, those that find a way to install a state of kindness in even the bitterest wind and chained grievance, for those that offer Exile & Grace are to be saluted, for they are the ones that set you free.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
There is always the question that hangs in the air when it comes to love, for some the question of how much is too much and how little can you survive on is one of perpetual thought and arguably sent the sentinels of reason and philosophy scurrying into madness; never truly getting that to answer that question takes Rock and Blues’ greatest minds to answer.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
There is a huge difference between being ready for the studio and being born for the stage, one can thrill the senses, the other washes over them, taking them on a ride that stops the heart, makes it require the sweet recovery of a frontman versed in the knowledge that live music is not about treating the symptom but improving the soul to live and cheer the sound from the wooden stage.

The world has been a poorer place without the input of King King in it, of that there can be no doubt. The rich tapestry of life is only as deep and meaningful if all the players are taking part and their own story flows like wine at the aftershow of Cana. The tapestry needs to be woven closely and any interruption to the stitch and needlework is likely to cause a tear in the fabric and leave a gaping hole for the light to shine through despondently.

Sometimes it seems that you can come across a band that you instantly fall for when you weren’t even looking. As when you stop looking for that one special person and just concentrate on the small things that make you happy and take life on a day to day basis, out of nowhere they come and take root in your life. Such is the effect of Glasgow band King King and their Blues styled rock and their album Standing In The Shadows on the heart that for a while you cannot think of anything better to listen to every night.
