Originating in the Ancaster area as To Our Divide, King Park opted for a name change and to move away from their pop-punk roots. However I wouldn’t say that the pop-punk influences have completely gone away. “Stay” still has some pop or even emo qualities but is more melodic and intense. You can tell there is serious passion put forward into this song. The vocals strain as the guitars flow from hectic to almost atmospheric. The new album “The Lights I Can’t See” is available this week and the release party goes down at the Casbah in Hamilton on November 2nd. – Kris Gies
