Hook hungry fans of great guitar rock will love this modern twist to classic rock influenced by "Lightning Strikes"
(Chicago, Illinois)
Kevin Lee & the Kings are one of the best rock bands in the Midwest, and the band is ready to hit the bricks behind a new EP, “Lightning Strikes,” on Sigus Records. The sound is straight-up modern pop/rock packed with big guitars, indelible hooks, and soaring vocal harmonies wrapped around Lee’s razor-sharp songwriting and production skills. The songs deliver the kind of car-radio greatness that launches careers and summer nights, and tracks like “Ruby Red Lips,” “Best Is Yet To Come,” and “Miracle” will do much to remind you of why you loved rock and roll in the first place.
Kevin Lee is a former MCA recording artist who has left the major label system behind to do the indie thing with his band, The Kings, which is a bit of a Midwestern supergroup. Lee is a veteran solo artist with arena-sized credentials that include tours with Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon, and Pearl Jam, and bassist/vocalist Patti Prendergast toured internationally with Bitch and Tough Love. Guitarist/vocalist Michael Kurtz has been part of popular acts like Madfox, Bombs Away, and Dark Star Records artist Half Bitten Moon. Drummer Erik Strommer first made his bones on the East Coast in bands like Broken Arrows and Catfish Hunter but has been in Chicago since 1996 and with Kevin Lee since 2007.
These four roadworthy veterans combine to make a sound that mixes the best parts of the Classic Rock era with 21st Century energy and timeless songwriting. “Lightning Strikes” is ample proof that rock and roll music is still alive and worth supporting. Kevin Lee & the Kings are ready to bring this noise to the world and give it a good shaking up. Now would be a good time for you to join the party.
