Taking inspiration from blues, rock, country, and pop rock, Alright Kingsley comes at you with a wide ranging tonal palate. Simply put, they write music they like. From acoustic to fuzz, the band cares more about the vibe than fitting each song into tidy boxes. While Alright Kingsley is a Colorado-based rock band by birth, spacey ballads and acoustic jams find a home parked next to the 12 bar blues, dirty riffs, and bouncing bass lines. Ultimately, they love music, they love writing music, and they are excited to put it out into the world - no matter what shape it might take.
