This rap/rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, is one of my favorites, both musically and personally. They have been recording recently, for which I am very excited, but at the moment I’m listening to “Bang Loud” from the Club Rock EP (2011).

Local Music News
Well…things are not great for me and haven’t been for a while. My two favorite local bands, Lynam and Almost Kings, are going through some changes.
In Lynam’s case, vocalist/guitarist Jacob Bunton has moved to LA and is working with Adler, as well as other artists. Drummer David Lynam and bassist Mark Dzier have formed a cover band called Danger City. I’m not sure what this means for Lynam, though I have my guesses.
Almost Kings, on the other hand, lost bassist Danny Helms months ago. The band announced a search for a new bass player. I know they had a guy filling in, but I don’t know if he was the permanent replacement. A couple of weeks ago, drummer Kevin Compton said he was leaving too. Sooo… 😦 They will continue; I just wonder what’s next. It will definitely be different.
New Music from Almost Kings!
A few months ago, Almost Kings bassist Danny Helms let me listen to “Never Gonna Happen” on his phone. My interest was piqued immediately because it’s them but…different. It made me very excited for the upcoming album (and I will undoubtedly be posting a review the instant it hits my hands).
They have now released a video for the song. Please check it out and give them some feedback!
Song of the Week: “Legend”
This has always been, and will always be, one of my top five favorite songs by Almost Kings. I can’t even explain the thrill I get as soon as it starts. ❤
Almost Kings — “Legend,” from the album Filthy Nice (2009).
