Kingdom
Threads
Forming in 2006, KINGDOM exploded into the over-saturated, watered-down cesspool of hardcore, fueled by an agenda of justice and compassion. These vegan straight edge cohorts have released two 7"s on Goodbye Blue Skies and New Age Records before landing a deal with Eulogy Recordings for their debut full length, Rage That Guides. Then they toured their asses off to support it. KINGDOM have earned the respect of peers and audiences with their hard DIY work ethic and outspoken stance on animal/human rights, corrupt cops, drugs, etc. Now 2011 sees KINGDOM resurface with easily their most focused material to date, Threads, released on Dead Truth Recordings. This time around, with some minor lineup changes, KINGDOM has sharpened their lyrics, beefed up their riffs and honed their songwriting. Birthing something nasty between NYHC and NOLA sludge and managing to create a fresh sound to add to the ancient wheel, KINGDOM is proof the vegan straight edge is still pissed on the East Coast.
