King Tuff.

If you haven’t bought the newest King Tuff record that came out right in time for summer this year, then you’re missing out.  Lately, it’s all I’ve been listening too.  Graham Hunt from the Shades burned it for me and I’m forever in debt to him for that.  The production is great with it’s rugged yet shimmering guitars and 70’s sounding drums.  King writes songs that are short and sweet but undeniably catchy.   To the point where you’ll hear them all day in your head.  Not to mention the riffs he comes up with, especially in the lead track “Anthem”.  His vocals and the production remind me a bit of  T. Rex which I think is probably pretty intentional.  It doesn’t surprise me that this record is blowing up because it lives up to all the hype.  For me the highlight is track 3 “Keep On Movin'” which I think is the summer jam of 2012.  Put this record on in the car, throw on your sunglasses, start rollin’ and just soak it in because it’s lovely.
