King Coyote’s new EP release Wild definitely leaves you howling for more

Full of sludgy bass grooves, hard drums, and psychedelic riffs, King Coyote’s new EP release Wild definitely leaves you howling for more. Short but sweet, the EP includes four tracks that just make you wonder “what are these kids doing teasing us with these little singles and EPs? GIVE ME A FULL ALBUM, DANG IT, I KNOW YOU’VE GOT ONE IN THERE”.

The first tune off the top ‘Running Wild’ is everything you want out of a lone wolf, walk-like-a-badass kinda song. Solid build-up, drums that’ll run off without you if you don’t catch up and all that fuzzed-up guitar goodness.

‘Coca Cola’ keeps the party going with a summer pub-rock banger, giving me strong DZ Deathrays dance-rock vibes. ‘Moonlight Queen’ is a grungy serenade in a leather jacket with some neat riffs in between. ‘Diamonds’ starts off a bit dreamy, kinda like a prom scene from some ‘90s high school flick where boy locks eyes with girl from across the room. It doesn’t take long for it to pick up and serve a bit more power but the vibe overall is more of a sleazy strut, weaving in between gravelly howls and dirty guitar to psychedelic dreamland and back.

Think Royal Blood, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Bad//Dreems – sexy sludgy. Looking forward to the album one day, boys!
