Good bands follow the path in front of them, but the great ones forge their own trail. With their new album, After Hours, Close To Dawn, Kingswood prove they’re part of the latter’s rich, rare lineage: risk-takers who refuse to acknowledge the easy boundaries that demarcate popular music. The group have made a record that’s bursting with diverse ideas, extraordinary sounds, and heartfelt emotion. “There’s no direction we can’t take now,” explains Linacre. “Kingswood can go anywhere we want.”

“Any perspective on what we should sound like has been thrown out the window,” adds Laska. After Hours, Close To Dawn puts Kingswood on the front line of innovators. It mixes compelling R’n’B grooves with soaring rock & roll, garage soul and space-age experimentation. It’s an eclectic collection of music, but the defining element is the through line of the trio’s creative DNA. No matter what shape they take, these songs still instantly recognizable as Kingswood.
