Adelaide Australia’s Kings & Associates pay homage to James Brown’s musical director, Bobby Byrd, as they put their own spin on his 70s funk deep cut “Back from the Dead.” The tune is the lead track off of their forthcoming album ‘Neighbour’ recorded in Los Angeles in 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. At its core, “Back from the Dead” is a romance song with hints of grit and nastiness. However, it has a coincidental idiomatic significance to the band and society at large as they are figuratively ‘back from the dead’ after the pandemic halted touring and live music as we know it. The band has coordinated the release of the new single to align with their appearance at the 2022 Echuca-Moana Winter Blues Festival. ‘Neighbor’ will be released in fall 2022 and was produced by Jim Scott, who has worked with numerous icons in modern music such as Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rolling Stones, and many more.

“Love Me While You Can” is the highly anticipated lead single from The Handcuffs’ forthcoming fourth studio record. Taking inspiration from vintage album-oriented rock albums from the likes of Mott The Hoople, T-Rex, and the Rolling Stones and reading biographies of their musical heroes, the band observed the simplicity, ease, and freedom of the early days of rock ’n roll. As a result, “Love Me While You Can” is an uncomplicated and pure ode to love the influential artists and anyone dear to you for as long as you can so you won’t end up with any regrets. The track has also become inadvertently anthemic for the times of loss and destruction caused by the pandemic and using the song as a vehicle of hope. Led by critically acclaimed drummer Brad Elvis (Romantics, Elvis Brothers, Big Hello, Screams) and multi-instrumentalist Chloe F. Orwell, the Chicago-based project has been praised by the likes of Trouser Press, The Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Leicester Bangs (UK), and Magnet Magazine and has become a stand-out act in their explorations in sonic territory while believing in the power of a great radio hook. The Handcuffs' powerhouse lineup also includes bassist Emily Togni, guitarist Jeffrey Kmieciak, and keyboardist Alison Hinderliter. Produced by Mike Hagler, Brad Elvis, Chloe F.
