Hailing from the UK, KinStrife concoct a heady brew of 80’s inspired Melodic Rock that is as catchy as an airborne contagion.
‘Queen Of Broken Hearts’ is a shimmering slice of Americana inspired Rock that begins its sonic journey on a desert scape where simmering rhythms and a scrumptious reverb drenched guitar riff bring piercing blue skies, rust encrusted steel and the revving of Harleys to mind.
From thereon ‘Queen Of Broken Hearts’ explodes into a conflagration of gargantuan guitars, pounding rhythms and whiskey soaked vocals that are as rousing as they are muscular and melodious.
Formed in 2013 and featuring Alan Kaye on lead and rhythm guitar, Dave Richards on Bass, Mike Hoskins on Vocals and rhythm guitar and Simon Richards on Drums, KinStrife purvey the type of hedonistic Hard Rock that will appeal to fans of Orange Goblin, Alabama Thunderpussy as well as Lynard Skynard and Bad Company.
Concerning ‘Queen Of Broken Hearts’ guitarist Alan Kaye has stated that it began as two guitar ideas in Drop D with an American chain gang feel. From theron it proceeded to get bigger and bigger until it became the rousing, rock anthem it is today.
Note the aforementioned is paraphrased yet have no doubt that ‘Queen Of Broken Hearts’ is a heaving slab of Hard Rock that bristles with bravado and swagger.
If you are looking for a sun scorched piece of propulsive, ballsy Melodic Rock then look no further for ‘Queen of Broken Hearts’ will rock your world.
