Multi-Platinum & Gold ARIA-certified, ARIA-nominated, and 4x Golden Guitar nominees, KINGSWOOD, return with a powerful tribute to one of rock’s greatest icons.
Blending the raw energy of classic rock with the rich storytelling of modern country, KINGSWOOD have built a reputation for electrifying performances and genre-defying artistry. Now, with their latest release, a bold reimagining of Tom Petty’s ‘You Wreck Me’, the band proves once again why they stand at the crossroads of heartland rock and country soul.
Fueled by passion, grit, and a relentless pursuit of sonic authenticity, KINGSWOOD breathe new life into this timeless anthem. Their rendition channels the reckless energy of love and destruction, honouring Petty’s legacy while stamping the song with their signature blend of soulful harmonies, driving guitars, and unfiltered emotion.
“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.”
From roaring festival stages to stripped-back honky-tonk sets, KINGSWOOD continue to push boundaries, bridging the spirit of Springsteen, Petty, and Alan Jackson with their own distinctive edge. You Wreck Me is more than just a cover—it’s a declaration of passion, power, and the unbreakable spirit of rock & roll.
In 2024, KINGSWOOD embarked on Australia’s longest-ever music tour, performing 112 shows over six months to over 60,000 fans. The relentless grind of the Hometowns Tour not only redefined KINGSWOOD as a live unit but also became a testament to their endurance, passion, and deep connection with audiences across the country.
Now, this incredible journey has been immortalised in CLAPTRAP, a feature documentary film that captures the highs, lows, and raw emotion of life on the road.
Born from a love of vintage rock, country soul, and storytelling that lingers, KINGSWOOD is where Tom Petty meets Alan Jackson, and Johnny Cash shares a whiskey with Lynyrd Skynyrd.
With a decade of relentless touring, chart-topping records, and a reputation for electrifying live performances, KINGSWOOD has earned their place among modern rock's elite, all while staying true to the raw, unfiltered essence of classic Americana. This year, catch KINGSWOOD on the road with main stage performances at the Gympie Music Muster and Savannah In the Round in 2025.
