"I first heard of KOTS through my good buddy Arild Blindheim back in 91.His brother had bought a vinyl edition of it,and when he first played "Serpentine" i though,"hell,this is rock`n roll without the glamour that we see in L.a.Further on i listened to the whole album and was amazed by the quality each track had,not a single boring moment.Tunes like "Tom boy" and" "black leather" was just amazing,and up to this day i consider KoTS as one of the most underrated bands of the 90`s.I wish the two brothers all the luck with their new project "Rich&famous""

"Not much I can say about this band that hasn't been covered here already. These guys are easily the BEST unknown rockers I've ever heard. The talented Hoad brothers have a new project now, and it's getting great reviews. Those interested can see for themselves at therichandfamous.net, so give that a look. Also, I can get a copy of the very rare 3rd Kings lp "Resurrection" to anyone looking, just email me at lasvegasmetal@hotmail.com!!"
The best rock band you've never heard- bar none.

"Anyone who fondly remembers rock radio, needs to hear the Kings. I have never played any of their three records for a friend who didn't become an instant convert. This album is a great intro to the band- Full Frontal Attack is even better, more aggressive and the third, Resurrection, is one of the best hard rock albums (and hardest to find) I've ever heard. If anyone ever finds out what happened to the core of the band, Cliff and Jeff Hoad, please post it in a review."
Something for the next century!

"Unfortunately KOTS started their career in the late 80`s and will always be compared to the l.a scene etc.But from my point of view this is genuine rock`n roll!I`m not talking ACDc,though they come from the same area,this is far better.Listening to black leather,tom boy and Serpentine there is no doubt that KOTS should be far more appericiated than they ever where.Sharp guitars,ok vocals and a fantastic pop-theft.This is the Stones of the late 80`s,early 90`s.They have influenced my childhood,and will continue that way!.."LØP OG KJØP""
The best bar band ever!

"This is one of the hidden gems of my collection. This Aussie band rocks so hard, so energetic, so full of fun, it's hard to resisting joining the ride.
It's a shame they disappeared so fast after three albums.
