"Tell their legion of imitators they're going to be playing catch-up a while longer."

"I find pre-meditation, in any kind of creative pursuit, to be toxic to getting an inspired result" - Kurt Ballou.

KYS recently caught up with frontman Jacob Bannon to discuss music, a near death experience…and the strong possibility of an upcoming Australian tour.
