LIQUOR KINGS

Unfiltered - Independent 2014


Back again with a hard rocking blast are these local practitioners of Satan, Bacon and Beer!

This slab comes out swinging with 'Hit You Hard' the twin axe attack of Steven Graf and Mike Laviolette ripping right into your cranium. "It's 3 A.M." lays down a mean groove - time for some dancing. The lights and the sound are beginning to make everyone delirious so "Head above the Water" brings furious focus back into action - Liquor Kings baby!

The album switches into high gear, with Terry Russell and Ed Hurrell providing a wicked bottom end. "On my feet Again" is a lovely ballad, so, buy the ladies a drink now.

Coming home the epic 'Way down Here' turns the dance floor into chaos! It's a fun time here with Eddy and the Boys - this recording was recorded in 12 hours flat over a week - with exemplary artwork by Rich Katynski. Check it out and come see their live show anytime!
