Forged from the heart of a crew who bridge the gap between indie and mainstream radio hits, aKING are a rock ensemble with melodic ambitions reaching far beyond South Africa. They wrenched open the airlock and let the gravity of their hard-hitting sound fill the void in South African rock during 2008 with Dutch Courage and knockouts like “Guilty as Sin” and “Safe as Houses”. A year later, they rose to the top of the charts again with the defiant, simmering tirade “Against All Odds”. Sharing stages with Oasis and Snow Patrol cemented their place as a leading artistic force.
