Multi-Platinum and Gold certified ARIA band KINGSWOOD, known for their electrifying performances and genre-defying sound, return with a powerful tribute to one of rock's greatest icons.
Blending the raw energy of classic rock with the rich storytelling of modern country, KINGSWOOD continues to solidify their reputation as trailblazers in the music world. With their latest release, a reimagining of Tom Petty's You Wreck Me, the band demonstrates why they remain at the crossroads of heartland rock and country soul.
Their rendition of this timeless anthem is fuelled by passion, grit, and an unwavering commitment to sonic authenticity. They breathe new life into Petty’s iconic track, channelling the spirit of the original while adding their signature soulful harmonies, driving guitars, and earnest emotion.
“It’s love, chaos, and obsession colliding at full speed. The feeling of being completely wrecked by someone, it’s something we’ve all lived through. Surrendering to a force greater than you’re able to control. The reckless pursuit of something you can’t quite hold onto. When we play it, we’re tapping into that raw, untamed emotion - like going into a boxing ring.” the band shared via social media.
From massive festival stages to intimate honky-tonk sets, KINGSWOOD continues to push boundaries, drawing inspiration from icons like Springsteen, Petty, and Alan Jackson while maintaining their own distinctive edge. You Wreck Me isn’t just a cover, it’s a declaration of passion, power, and the unbreakable spirit of rock & roll.
In 2024, KINGSWOOD embarked on Australia’s longest-ever music tour, performing an astounding 112 shows over six months. The grueling Hometowns Tour not only redefined KINGSWOOD as a live act but also served as a testament to their endurance, passion, and deep connection with audiences across the country.
Ready to do it all again, KINGSWOOD have announced their The Midnight Mavericks Tour for 2025 with 34 dates lined up between April 25th and October 10th where they will perform as part of the mega line up for the Savannah In The Round festival in Cairns.
