Isis Music Hall Presents Kingsley Flood on September 18th

With a live show that “could thrill Folsom Prison in ‘58 or CBGB in ‘76”, Kingsley Flood celebrates the mid-point of an ambitious year on September 18th at Isis Music Hall.

Kingsley Flood shares a triple bill with Bombadil and Anthony D’Amato. Showtime is 8:30 pm on September 18th. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 on the day of the show.

Building on the band’s “Billy Bragg-like folk-punk sound” (Washington Post), To The Wolves follows January’s highly acclaimed EP To The Fire, and anticipates the band’s full-length release, due this fall.

To The Wolves continues songwriter Naseem Khuri’s obsession with stagnation in our lives, and exploring why things don’t change. While To The Fire chronicles his own experience as a wide-eyed first generation Palestinian American wanting to change the world, To The Wolves suggests greater change is harder when we can’t even change ourselves.

The EP also continues Kingsley Flood’s ongoing collaboration with producer Paul Kolderie (Pixies, Radiohead, Morphine) and 1867 Recording Studio, the onetime Masonic temple in Chelsea, MA where To the Fire was created. The results showcase the band’s signature and wide-ranging dynamics, from the scorched-earth guitar riff anchoring the title track to the contrasting plaintive violin and hard rock release of the deceptively upbeat “Blind,” the frenetic punk drive of “All Night Dynamite” and the pensive intimacy.

Since their breakout set at the Newport Folk Festival in 2013, Kingsley Flood has opened tour dates for Lucius and Josh Ritter; earned raves from AV Club, Paste, Rolling Stone, Billboard, NY Times; played a session for Esquire; and premiered a video with NPR Music.
