Louise Swift 6 November 2015 Album Announcements

KING 810 are set to release a limited edition 10″ vinyl EP, ‘that place where pain lives…’ on 20th November.  The digital version is already available via iTunes.

‘that place where pain lives…’ is limited to 2000 hand-numbered copies worldwide and features two previously unreleased tracks, ‘bad man’ and ‘devil don’t cry (string quartet version)’, the former featuring a guest appearance from British singer/songwriter, Rosie May.  On lead track, ‘bad man’, frontman David Gunn and Rosie May tell a ‘Badlands’-style story with a contemporary vibe and a Johnny Cash-a-like sound.  Check out the track:

The band have also released an atmospheric video for the EP’s second track, ‘devil don’t cry (string quartet version)’ which was directed by frontman David Gunn and shot in Hamtramck, Michigan, local to the band’s Flint hometown:

KING 810 continue to challenge people’s preconceptions with these two stripped back songs, showcasing the fact that there’s more weaponry than you may imagine in their aural arsenal.  While most bands have a set ‘sound’, KING 810 can flip from metallic, in-your-face fury to acoustic interludes and then into gritty, rap-laden collaborations, as illustrated on their last release, the ‘Midwest Monsters 2’ mixtape.  You can still pick up the free mixtape over at http://www.datpiff.com/King-810-Midwest-Monsters-2-mixtape.734607.html.

Note: The b-side of the vinyl release features an etched script, no audio (see image attached).  All vinyl purchases come with a free instant digital download version.

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
