Krooked Kings like to rep their hometown scene – yet they’re also not afraid to stretch their wings.
Take new album ‘Shiver’. The group’s third to date, it was largely constructed in Los Angeles, with the band allowing themselves to be inspired by their surroundings.
They remain very much hometown boys, however. With ‘Shiver’ out now, Krooked Kings want to shout out the Salt Lake City scene – Oliver Martin, David Macey, Matthew Monossan, Paul Colgan and Quinton Casper pick out the bands and songwriters you need to know.
