“Light up another cigarette,” a voice wails to what can only be an indifferent God, and The King’s Rising self-titled album stumbles through the barroom doors and out into a hard rockin’ alcoholic American landscape all too familiar to those raised on false promises, heartbreak, and broken dreams. Currently comprised of Stone Mason(vocals, guitar), James Lippert(bass), Josh Fritschle(drums), and Ryan Mason(lead guitars); The Kings Rising have been playing to audiences all around the Midwest for years, honing their chops in the band Ivivra Motive before regrouping in 2012 when the original bassist Steve Taylor left. Singer Stone Mason said, “When Steve left the band, James offered to step down from the drum throne and onto bass. Josh was an old co worker of mine who called me out of the blue and said I’d like to play drums. The rest was history.” The versatility in The Kings Rising is one of the biggest reasons why they have continued to play while other local bands have faded away. “It was no suprise to our local fans when the line up changed like it did. We all have been playing multiple instruments for years,” guitarist Ryan Mason added.” The debut album by The Kings Rising, recorded at Maso Studios and mastered at Boiler Room Chicago, is the result of the hard work and commitment to furthering the hard rock dialogue left to them by their influences, which include Jim Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Mother Love Bone, Temple Of The Dog
