Mount Rushka - Kings & Queens (Official Music Video)

Kings & Queens started with a dirty guitar riff and a blues shuffle drum beat. When our vocalist, Adam Laurin heard it, it reminded him of the excitement of a race car event, like NASCAR. Tail gating, excess speeds, and oil temperatures at 1000 degrees... "Kings & Queens arrive" with their eyes on the checkered flag. The riff uses a "octave fuzz" effect first popularized by Jimi Hendrix's solo in Purple Haze. In Kings & Queens, our guitarist, Will Ripley used it for a grungy heavy effect on the power chords, making the tones grind like an powerful engine.
