Floridian Hard rockers' King's County returns with a nod to their past, paying homage to their 80's influences with a cover of " I Ran" by New wave band A Flock of Seagull's . The Liverpudlians played a role on them early in their careers. King's County frontman Rob Dexter explains the reasons behind the choice to record the track as " We've always been fans of the 80's new wave bands and their music really converts nicely to hard Rock. Whether the meaning of "I Ran" is someone running towards or away from something, Kings County's version will have you banging your head while grabbing for a can of aquanet."
King's County has created a rockier version of the track with added panache behind the music. I Ran instantly begins with a howling wind like something newly arrived from the Antarctic before the resonated chimes of the guitar tremble along the melodic lines. Dexter's distorted melodies are warm and introspective as he croons about the one that got away. The edgier guitar breaks in between verses and pummeling drums in the mid eight define it from the original because it feels more personal to the metal outfit, whilst attempting to sticking to the melodic songwriting that made it so important to many other groups of pomp. The final instrumental outro feels like a fitting tribute.
King's County I Ran is available from today via all good musical platforms.
