The Ugly Kings – Of Sins
Originally published on Alt Media
The fusion of blues storytelling with in your face, gritty rock-and-roll musical elements position Of Sins in its own distinct stream of music.
By straddling that divide between rock and blues, this offering by Melbourne band The Ugly Kings is certainly not for purists of either genre but leaves enough for wider music fans to appreciate.
Musically, the group employs charging guitar riffs and driving drum lines synonymous with rock while lyrically Russell Clark conveys emotions and tells compelling stories.
Standout tracks are Goodbye, Of Sins and Wicked Witch Of Wonder.
