Bio:
Kings Of The Sun is hard rock band from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, that was formed in 1981 under the name The Young Lions.The band changed its name to Kings Of The Sun around 1985/1986.The band was inactive between 2002 and 2009, when Jeffrey Hoad and Clifford Hoad pursued The Rich & Famous. After the hiatus, it was also called Clifford Hoad's Kings Of The Sun.Kings of the Sun (also abbreviated KOTS) are an Australian hard rock band, which were formed by brothers Clifford and Jeffrey Hoad in 1986. They released three studio albums, Kings of the Sun (1988), Full Frontal Attack (1990) and Resurrection (1993), before disbanding in 2001.The Hoad brothers formed a related hard rock band, the Rich and Famous, in 2002. This group also issued three studio albums, The Rich and Famous (2004), Like a Superstar (2006) and Stand Back.Prepare to Be Amazed! (2007), and broke up in 2009. Thereafter the brothers were estranged and no longer worked together. In 2010 elder brother Clifford formed Clifford Hoad's Kings of the Sun, which has issued three albums, Rock Til Ya Die (2013), Razed on Rock (2016) and Playin' to the Heavens (2017). Jeffrey resumed the Rich and Famous band in the mid-2010s, which became inactive by the end of that decade.
Album:
Debut full-lengtha labum.The Hoad brothers formed Kings of the Sun in Sydney with Anthony Ragg on bass guitar (ex-Ballistics) and Ron Thiessen on guitar (ex-Uncanny X-Men).The name references Yul Brynner's 1963 feature film of the same name.In 1986 the Kings of the Sun were formed in Sydney as a pop rock quartet and briefly signed to Mushroom.Their debut single, "Bottom of My Heart", was released in October, which reached the top 50 on the Kent Music Report singles chart.Kings of the Sun were signed to RCA when executive Simon Lowe saw them perform. The group toured the United States during 1987.In New York City they worked on their first album, without Thiessen.In October 1988 they released their debut studio album, Kings of the Sun, which was produced by Eddie Kramer and mixed by Dave Thoener. Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane praised it as a "no-frills, hard rock album with a raw feel for pop economy".Its lead single "Serpentine" (July), peaked at number 48 in Australia.After the album was released Glenn Morris joined on lead guitar as they toured the US supporting Joe Satriani and then Europe supporting Kiss.They returned to Australia in late 1988.They opened for Guns N' Roses on the Australian leg of their Appetite for Destruction Tour in December. However, Kings of the Sun were removed from that tour when Jeffrey "dropped his pants in front of the audience" at their Sydney show and expressed his opinion on Guns N' Roses.Tensions had developed between the two groups due to Clifford's remark in the local On the Street magazine: he claimed Guns N' Roses took much of their image from Rose Tattoo.Clifford recalled in July 2012, "When I said those things, I meant them. It wasn't necessarily aimed at Guns N' Roses. It was aimed at the Australian press and public. 'OK, make a fuss over Guns N' Roses but at least know that Rose Tattoo exists.'" This album is a really good, straight-ahead anthemic hard rock cd.Black Leather is such an awesome song with a catchy chorus. Serpentine's a great song, and Vicious Delicious is an original song. Better than Full Frontal Attack, where the drummer needs to be put in a straightjacket (he is just too over-aggressive).Very good debut for KINGS OF THE SUN back in 88 offering some straight ahead classic hard rock music with a street bar feel !nothing blowminding ,still ell performed,it gives the rock vibe you need! "Serpentine", "Cry 4 Love", "Bad Love" and "Black Leather" are the standout songs
