And now, the end is nigh. We tug away a little more at Sinatra's bloody red curtain, and unveil the penultimate ten in our Tracks of 2012 series. Saying it clear and stating that case of which we're certain, in our combined mind few MP3s and other assorted ones bettered the below, which this time encompasses entries born Under the Westway, drifted in from Japan, spawned in New York, and oozed Raclette-like out of Switzerland. The Avalanches also finally found it in themselves to return – and did so with a disconcertingly calm Silver Jew in the trim shape [...]

I haven't been able to exactly pin down King Tuff yet. In the past the artist has crafted palatable gutter rock. The sort of snot-crusted, infected stab-tat rock and roll that doesn't leave you with bloody ears and black eye. Blame it on Sub Pop and their fold of polish happy producers, or just call [...]

LA based Kyle Thomas is the creative force behind the garage rock outfit King Tuff . King Tuff released their self-titled, second album a few months back and it’s replete with sunny, melodic garage rock songs with enough variety and change of pace to make for a fun and engaging listen. Check out – Alone and Stoned, Baby Just Break The Rules and Swamp Of Love – my favourite tracks on the album [...]

By listening to their music over the last few years you never would've known it that King Tuff like to partake in the pastime more commonly known as "getting blazed off your fucking tits", but they do! And what better way to show the world (again) than with their new video for "Alone And Stoned" which follows their eccentric friends around their apartments for a dance-fest. The song is taken from their latest album King Tuff , out now via Sub Pop. Connect with [...]
King Tuff - King Tuff Label: Sub Pop Release Date: May 26th, 2012 When it comes to albums that remain underappreciated in 2012, one of Sub Pop’s newest signees sits atop the list. Kyle Thomas, better known as King Tuff and possibly even better known for his Jimmy Page hairstyle, wasn’t the first onto the garage rock revival scene, but on his sophomore album he [...]
King Tuff and Jaill brought the searing sounds of garage-punk to Soda Bar on Saturday, complete with head banging and audience participation.
After gradually catching the music world's attention with underground groups like Feathers, Happy Birthday, and Witch (with Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis), Kyle Thomas has now chosen to focus his creative e
King Tuff's sophomore LP comes across as generic and forced. Sub Pop, 2012 4.6 / 10.0 Is Sub Pop Records becoming the awkward cool dad of the indie rock industry? You know the kind of guy I'm talking about. The father that refuses to surrender to adulthood and insists on trying to "fit [...]
King Tuff - King Tuff ( Sub Pop ) Surely, after Witch, Happy Birthday, and now King Tuff, one of Kyle Thomas’ projects will take hold a turn him into Sub Pop’s latest hot commodity. Lord knows they seem to release every single fart that this guy lets go of and they leave it to me to pin the tail on the moniker. King Tuff may be the first Kyle Thomas project that actually contributes to his billing as a scuzz rock royalty, as his self-titled sophomore effort seems [...]
Above all else, King Tuff is a human bean. The band name, King Tuff, is the stuff of Bazooka Joe wrapper legends, and not the joke telling kind. Kyle comes off in conversation as a bit of an anti-hero; someone who thinks and works with deep thoughts about....well, everything. The 'K.T.' stands for Kyle Thomas, the lead singer, guitarist, and creator of King Tuff. Kyle came up with the name himself, and it has just kind of....stuck. Growing up and living in Vermont, Thomas has played in a few interesting amalgams over the years, including the mysterious Witch [...]
King Tuff lived, and then it died, and then it became Happy Birthday, and then it reemerged, the trials and tribulations of its lengthy return seemingly unnoticed. King Tuff has returned, and with it the sort of fuzzed out goofy grin style garage rock we'd come to expect from this scruffy little band. "Bad Things" [...]
![King Tuff, refreshing summertime rock n’ roll. [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4306894_lg.jpg)
Okay, enough of the folk-rock and alt-country coverage. Summertime is here and it's time to bust out the Zinka, crack open canned beer and grill some meat. Go ahead and take your shirt off and dust off those jorts because it's time to rock and roll. Oh, and make some room for King Tuff on your summertime playlists. Vermont's King Tuff (Kyle Thomas) has made a splash in the underground rock scene and he's ready to cannonball into your pool party. He spent some time playing with J. Masic's band, Witch, before self-releasing an album back in '08. [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars In the brief bio on Sub Pop 's web page for King Tuff , and his new self-titled album, it alludes to the fact that the entirety of the record is just rock n' roll and that you can't really listen to it with critical ears. For what it's worth, the bio is pretty spot on, as King Tuff is something you're just going to have to experience for yourself. But, I'll do [...]
