The new single from Palace Of The King – Tell It Like It Is, was written and recorded before the shit hit the fan during the antipodean summer, however Henwood’s lyric seems almost prophetic.
It’s a finger to the forehead stomper that demands attention.
Produced by POTK singer/guitarist Tim Henwood, it’s obvious he has the great Mike Chapman (Suzi Quatro, Blondie, The Sweet) to thank for his production style here.
Mixing duties have been masterfully performed by Jonathan Burnside (Clutch, Fu Manchu, Nirvana, Grinspoon, Living End) taking the energy of the track to the next level and bringing it kicking and screaming into the modern era.
In these crazy times, music might just help you get through. Even if it’s only for 3:27.
Let me ‘tell you like it is’. If POTK are anything to go by, rock and roll is here in the middle of this shit fight, and it’ll still be here when it’s all over.
