If you have not heard “Come With Me Now” by the super cool band, Kongos then you are missing out on some extremely awesome new music. Sometimes you just know when a band has the potential to be the next hit band and sirens went off for me with these guys. They are four brothers who are from South Africa, but also grew up in London and now live in Arizona. They bring an eclectic sound to alternative music that has been missing (who doesn’t love an accordion?!).
They released their debut album, Lunatic in 2012 in other parts of the world, but it wasn’t until this year when they began receiving major recognition and re-released Lunatic through Epic Records. The album is available through iTunes and they, along with Young the Giant, will be joining Kings of Leon on their upcoming tour.
A DAY TO REMEMBER will be returning to the U.S. and play a string of radio shows followed by a tour with RISE AGAINST in 2012. A new Pittsburgh date was recently added with RISE AGAINST and TITLE FIGHT.
