Summary:

Judging by this first offering from the album, The King Lot could theoretically be the love child of Bon Jovi and Guns & Roses. Mixed with gritty, gravelly vocals and some nice melodic guitar work this seems to be a gentle opening offer from the band and whets the appetite to hear what else their debut album has in store for us.

The King Lot are a three piece Hard Rock and Roll band from West Lothian, Scotland who I have never heard much about until now! The band members have been friends for many years, and have written and recorded in various bands and projects together as well as achieving commercial and cult success separately. The band have grafted and toured, plying their trade with the best of them, and more recently supported bands such as The Answer and Beasto Blanco in Scotland earlier this year. The King Lot spent time in 2013 writing and putting material together to record their debut album due for release in the very near future.

I listened to their debut single “Until My Dying Day” and I must say I was mightily impressed. It did take a few listens to let it sink in but one thing is certain The King Lot do know how to Rock. With a sound that clearly is influenced by some of the big hard rock bands from the eighties and early nineties. Judging by this first offering from the album, The King Lot could theoretically be the love child of Bon Jovi and Guns & Roses. Mixed with gritty, gravelly vocals and some nice melodic guitar work this seems to be a gentle opening offer from the band and whets the appetite to hear what else their debut album has in store for us, which is released in the spring very soon.

The King Lot are:
Jason Sweeney – Vocals/Bass
Michael Fairbairn – Guitar
Chris Gillon – Drums

About Del Preston

So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweet shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me and Keith Moon and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweet shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shop owner and his son, that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business really. But sure enough, I got the M&Ms and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.
