Released today at a local or technological record store near you, the much-anticipated, self-titled debut from the The Kingston Springs is a truly indie, bass-heavy explosion of stereotype-defying rock music. The Kingston Springs successfully fuses punk and Americana by combining twangy harmonies and blues-y riffs with fuzzy guitars and a drummer who likes to play fast and hard. The lyrics create a sense of angsty romance, accessorized occasionally by a harmonica solo or a soulful guitar riff.
Following a set at the Starry Nights Festival in Bowling Green, Kentucky this weekend, The Kingston Springs have returned to Nashville just in time to see their album released to the masses. In keeping with the band’s typical, hectic cadence, you can hear them play the 615 Show tonight on Lightning 100, you can see them live on Thursday at Live On the Green, and you can (and should) also buy and stream The Kingston Springs over on Bandcamp. – Brianne Turner
