I’m really delighted to have received the new Kings of the Sun album “Rock Til Ya Die” in advance of its release; at a date still to be confirmed. The line-up may have changed with former lead singer Jeff Hoad no longer being in the band, but Clifford Hoad has done an excellent job taking over on lead vocals as well as retaining the drummer’s seat. The band promised to deliver “high voltage Aussie rock” and that is exactly what they’ve done. The album has a real classic, gutsy, no-nonsense rock n roll vibe.

We did an interview with Kobra Paige from Canadian rockers Kobra And The Lotus at the start of the year, shortly after they’d finished off a tour supporting Buckcherry - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1147-ni-rocks-interview-with-kobra-and-the-lotus.html
Needless to say we’re big fans of the band so I thought I’d share the press release that we got from our friends at Spinefarm Records announcing a European tour this autumn (unfortunately no dates in N Ireland) and news of a TV documentary featuring the band.
