KING BULL RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘THE DEPENDER’

Having recently released their first single for Riot Records, ‘Pay Attention’, KING BULL are now proud to release follow-up track ‘The Depender’.

Proving that rock truly lives with ‘The Depender’, the latest track from the Canadian act encompasses 70’s rock and punk with an angsty vibe and some earthy streetwise riffs. KING BULL are ready to tell their story to audiences around the world who are sure to get caught up in their infectious songwriting and uplifting delivery. 

Their first single, ‘Pay Attention’, is powered by a punk-tinged, rock-ignited fuel. Fired up by intricate licks, buzz-cutter guitar tones and uniquely edgy vocals, it encompasses what is great about rock music (like Iggy Pop jamming with Kiss and The Sex Pistols).

Hailing from Red Deer, Alberta which is not the most artistic of all Canadian communities, KING BULL has been plying the trade for the last 13 years. 

A closer look and you might find a striking resemblance between “Red Deer Alberta 2020” and the 1977 film “Slap Shot”, only now the Hanson brothers have given up on hockey and started playing rock and roll.

Thirteen years down the road, some minor tweaks to the name and lineup and KING BULL is operating smoother than ever with its oldest member still less than a quarter of a century old. Their 2019 debut release, ‘Mouthbreathers’ and ‘Sha-na-na’, a two-song commentary on modern identity alongside the never ending western Canadian tour in support, recently landed them on Australian based and globally operated record label Riot Records.

This is a band for fans of The Who, Iggy Pop, Against Me, AC/DC, Queens of the Stone Age, David Bowie, The Drones, Neil Young etc… (anything with electric guitar that snarls a bit, really).
