Band released their debut album last year
Five minutes with BIGSOUND 2012 performer, King Cannons.
Yeoward’s stamp is all over this record; his delivery is honest and forceful but capable of variation, spitting at times and defeated at others
This is the sort of celebratory and joyous end that this night was destined for from the outset – this is what rock’n’roll is all about.
The amazingly strong group dynamic of King Cannons is certainly understood when Yeoward explains that each of the band members have the same crown tattoo that adorns their throat, though the lyrical journey for The Brightest Light was a deeply personal one for the straight-shooting frontman.
The biggest surprise of the set comes in the form of their cover of Traveling Wilburys’ End Of The Line, which sees the Ting brothers making their mark on the vocals.
It’s certainly an uplifting, heady mix, plugging straight into that anthemic thing that made Springsteen.
