Southern California’s King Shelter is back with a new single titled āCONCRETE!ā off the band’s upcoming EP ‘PATIENCE.’
The track, written by Taylor Hecocks and produced by Adam Castilla, deals with gun violence and the glorification of those who carry out violent acts.
Hecocks says, "āCONCRETE!ā is about the frustration with the glorification of the shooter. Weāve seen the things people will do for their face to be in the minds of every citizen. Unless we change things, we will continue to see it time and time again. Is there anything we can do on our end as everyday humans? Maybe Iāll just try to treat people better first."
King Shelter began in 2015 by playing local shows around Orange County for friends and local music fans after they self-released a DIY album that Taylor Hecocks produced and engineered. The name of their breakout project: āFailureā EP, which was released independently in 2015.
This project would prove to be their first real stamp on the Orange County, CA music scene. King Shelter went from playing backyards before the release to headlining the Constellation Room two months later, and eventually would move on to taking over the LA market – selling out The Echo in February of 2017.
The band followed up their success of āFailureā by releasing a series of singles that were produced by Adam Castilla from the Colourist. They then toured with bands such as Hunny, The Frights and Sticky Fingers across all of North America and Canada.
