Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Noam Galai, AOL King Tuff bursts out of a door in a dirty, winding hallway in the back of Brooklyn's Knitting Factory looking more like a character from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" than a rock star. CMJ is enough to make anyone look like a kid lost in a candy factory, but Tuff is the sort of musical [...]
Whether or not you've heard otherwise, CMJ is a music festival unlike any other that graces the venues of New York City. Though SXSW might be our pick for top marathon festival of the year, the College Music Journal's annual tradition is still a hot mess in the best way possible. There are over 1,300 bands playing venues across Manhattan and Brooklyn this week, and with a badge, you can get into whichever shows you choose. How are you going to decide where to go and who to see? Hopefully this can help you make up your [...]
Some people may know Kyle Thomas from the trio Happy Birthday, but it's his scuzzy solo project, King Tuff , that's getting a lot of attention now. Following up his debut "Was Dead," Vermont-based King Tuff's new self-titled record on Sub Pop is chock full of everything adored by garage-rock fans. Sugary pop seeps its way into the fuzzy riffs; bratty lyrics are delivered with an astonishing sneer; and it all seems to bypass the brain in favor of sweeter spots. In fact, producer Bobby Harlow (The Go, Conspiracy Owls) suggests you don't: "Rock ’n’ roll is meant to [...]

KING TUFF, JAILL, THE MEMORIES ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) The glammy sugar-cereal blast of King Tuff's brilliant, big-muff pop has resulted in one of the year's best rock 'n' roll records. See the one true King perform all your future favorites up close and personal, and don't miss out on Milwaukee's Jaill, whose terrific new album Traps is no slouch either.

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
Although we now have a regular Video of the Day post on Mad Mackerel, we still can't keep up with all that we're being sent and here are a few more of the videos we would like to have featured well before now. Face-melting UK four piece Trails are making quite a name and quite a noise for themselves. Latest video is for new track Is My Purple Your Purple? , which they are also giving away as a free download. a [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
