THEM DAMN KINGS, SHOWN WITH A FIST

If you've been yearning for the swagger and raw power of 80's metal, Them Damn Kings have answered your call with their latest single, "Shown With A Fist." From the very first riff, it's like being catapulted back to a time when leather was plentiful, hair was big, and rock 'n' roll reigned supreme.

The overall sound quality of "Shown With A Fist" is impeccable. It's like Lemmy himself rose from the grave, kicked some amps, and declared this track worthy of any headbanger's playlist. The production is tight, allowing each instrument to shine in its full glory without losing an ounce of grit.

Guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist Jef Rhodes channels his inner rock god with incendiary solos that would make even the most stoic air-guitarist break a sweat. His riffs are a masterclass in 80’s metal bravado, slicing through the mix with precision and fire. As if that wasn’t enough, Rhodes's vocal delivery is a potent cocktail of grit and melody, paying homage to the titans of metal while carving out his own niche.

Let's not forget Ryan Blake Folden, the drum wizard behind the kit. His thunderous beats and intricate patterns propel the song forward with relentless energy, evoking the spirit of iconic drummers like Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. Folden's performance is a high-octane blend of skill and ferocity, ensuring that every beat hits like a freight train.

"Shown With A Fist" isn't just a song; it's a battle cry for metal purists and modern rockers alike. For those new to Them Damn Kings, this track is your gateway drug. Dive headfirst into their discography with bangers like their Self-Titled EP Them Damn Kings and Rise Up where you'll find tracks like "Devils Dime" smashing through your speakers with the same intensity.

At the end of binder of Jack and Coke and multiple packs of Marlborough’s, Them Damn Kings have delivered a single that's as hard-hitting as a Motörhead gig in '85. With stellar musicianship, killer production, and an undeniable sense of fun, "Shown With A Fist" is a must-listen for anyone who likes their music loud, proud, and unapologetically metal. So, crank up the volume, throw on your best leather jacket, and let Them Damn Kings take you on a wild ride.
