Our Take

Ah, The Kinks - a band that has always defied categorisation and pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a rock band. Their latest release, "Muswell Hillbillies" (2022 Standalone), is no exception.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where razor-sharp guitars and witty lyrics reign supreme. This album is a masterclass in storytelling, with frontman Ray Davies weaving tales of everyday life in Muswell Hill with unmatched charm and wit.

Tracks like "20th Century Man" and "Oklahoma U.S.A." showcase the band's ability to blend rock, country, and folk influences into a seamless tapestry of sound. Each song feels like a mini-movie, with vivid characters and vivid imagery that will transport you to a bygone era.

But it's not all nostalgia and quaint English charm - there's a dark undercurrent running through this album, with songs like "Alcohol" and "Here Come the People in Grey" tackling themes of addiction and societal decay with raw honesty.

Overall, "Muswell Hillbillies" is a triumph for The Kinks, proving once again why they are one of the most important bands in rock history. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the music of Muswell Hill wash over you - you won't be disappointed.

The Kinks

Profile: KINKS At first glance, KINKS may seem like just another up-and-coming indie pop band, but one listen to their infectious melodies and witty lyrics will have you hooked. Hailing from the heart of East London, this dynamic group of musicians is making waves in the music scene with their unique blend of retro vibes and modern sensibilities. Fronted by the enigmatic lead singer, Annie Davies, KINKS brings a fresh and exciting energy to the stage.

With influences ranging from classic rock legends to modern pop icons, KINKS has carved out a sound that is uniquely their own. They effortlessly blend shimmering guitars, pulsating synths, and driving beats to create a sonic tapestry that is at once nostalgic and futuristic.
