Multi Platinum & Gold ARIA certified, ARIA nominated, 4 x Golden Guitar nominees KINGSWOOD have returned.

Refined, electrifying, and unapologetically raw, KINGSWOOD stands at the crossroads of vintage rock and modern country. With a sound that feels like a shot of whiskey in a velvet glass—smooth yet burning with intensity—this Australian powerhouse has carved out a space where heartland rock meets the sounds of American nostalgia.

From roaring festival stages to stripped-back honky-tonk sets, KINGSWOOD delivers a brand of storytelling that’s equal parts elegance and edge. Their music pulses with the spirit of classic America —Springsteen’s fire, Petty’s soul and Alan Jackson’s cheek—while weaving in their own signature of soulful harmonies, driving guitars, and a relentless pursuit of sonic authenticity.

With their latest release, a searing rendition of Tom Petty’s ‘You Wreck Me,’ KINGSWOOD brings new life to a timeless anthem. Fuelled by the reckless energy of love and destruction, the track is a testament to the band’s ability to honor rock’s greats while making every note undeniably their own.“It’s love, chaos, and obsession colliding at full speed. The feeling of being completely wrecked by someone, it’s something we’ve all lived through. Surrendering to a force greater than you’re able to control. The reckless pursuit of something you can’t quite hold onto. When we play it, we’re tapping into that raw, untamed emotion—like going into a boxing ring.”
