Dizzy Storm Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 CO-PROMOTION WITH AUTUMN JAMS COLLECTIVE!!KONGConsisting of two thirds of OCEANSIZE, Manchester three-piece Kongs relentless sonic assault against all things conventional and boring gathers momentum this July with the release of their eagerly anticipated debut album, Snake Magnet on Brew Record on 13th JulyPrevious singles Blood of a Dove and Leather Penny blazed a trail for their unconventional sound and showcased their devastating ability to craft heavy, ferocious punk songs. These early glimpses promised much; and Snake Magnet does not disappoint. Bruising bass-lines, face-meltingly intense guitar riffs, beautifully fashioned soundscapes and hauntingly bleak and isolated vocals combine to form an album dripping with existential angst.Kong on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloadsfew press clippings.."If you like Shellac and Fugazi, consider Kong the toxic shock syndrome version; they will more than likely please your ears but definitely give you a side of nausea. How do I know? Cos Ive got a copy of their hideously good debut album Snake Magnet playing right now. Check it out upon its release on July 13th or Ill send a scary baboon round to your gaff to set your eyelids on fire. Just messing. Ill send Kong NMEOne of the best live bands in the UK right now Dan Carter BBC Radio 1Welcome to Kong's world. It's a world of heavy punk and cellotaped faces (leading to pretty scary gigs). You'd be mad not to enter and you'll probably leave it madder still ArtrockerManchester mob definitively kick the pop out of the punk with this raw and abrasive track with a hefty dose of Fugazi lurking beneath the surface. Kerrang"Kong might just be the best band in Britain right now. Ferociously powerful, stunningly inventive, and equal doses of scary and humorous."

Huw Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Smairt. We're prolly the heaviest band on the bill on Thursday and by far the non-heaviest band on the bill here. Hopefully people will still like. Need to get on listening to Kong, from what I hear they like to crush and they wear cool masks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
