Kingswood : Medusa

Melbourne four-piece Kingswood unleash an epic, Kiss-inspired sound with the debut EP, Change Of Heart. Their second single opens with singer Fergus Linacre releasing a formidable glam punk wail, before chugging guitars and hammering drums raise the ghost of Motley Crüe circa Dr Feelgood. Theirs is spot-on nostalgic metal, leagues ahead of Airborne and less camp than The Darkness – sounding far less like a cover band than bands of their ilk.
