KINGS DESTROY Premier “Smokey Robinson” Music Video; New Live Dates Confirmed
October 21, 2015, 9 years ago
NYC stoner rock/doom rock unit, Kings Destroy, today unveils a brand new video for the track "Smokey Robinson". Shot by Pit Full Of Shit's Frank Huang at their official record release show earlier this year at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar, the tune comes by way of the band's self-titled War Crime Recordings-issued full-length.
Of the latest clip, vocalist Steve Murphy comments, "Our previous videos always had storylines so this time we bring you a live sampling of the band. It made sense to have it filmed at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, New York on our record release show because that place is home to us much like CBGB was home to our hardcore bands. The people at Saint Vitus have nurtured us from our early days. We also chose Frank Huang to produce it. Frank is in the process of documenting the heavy scene in NYC like no one else. His work is important and down the road it will be Frank who will be recognized for his tireless contribution to our scene. I did not tell the band that we were doing this video so it's a true representation of Kings Destroy live. The words of the song have darker undertones about the problems we have with racial equality in our country. The words play off the more upbeat tempo of the song."
In related Kings Destroy news, the band will take to the streets again on a short run of live dates supporting the likes of Acid King, YOB and more with future onstage debauchery in the plotting stages.
