Was Dead
“Burger Records reissue King Tuff's incredibly sought-after 2008 LP, which rebooted the project after several years of playing with Feathers, and J Mascis collaboration Witch. It cemented Kyle Thomas as a grade-A purveyor of power pop-inclined rock'n'roll: Was Dead features one exhilarating hook after another.”
King Tuff (Bonus Track Version)
“After making an album under the name Happy Birthday, Kyle Thomas returns with a new moniker and sharper songwriting chops, resulting an album that is long on distortion and short on subtlety, but still manages to transcend lo-fi.”
MOO
“Kyle Thomas returns to his garage-punk roots on his latest record, adding newfound personality and texture to the primal, fuzzed-out sound of his early releases.”
Smalltown Stardust
“Steeped in the warm, psychedelic pop-rock of the 1970s, the new record from erstwhile garage rocker Kyle Thomas is a gold-toned nostalgia voyage that’s never entirely familiar.”
King Tuff (Bonus Track Version)
“If "Keep On Movin’" is to be believed, King Tuff’s guitar doesn’t shred, it "drools." That’s an appropriate visual: The greasy, catchy garage-pop on the Vermont-bred singer’s second record sneers like convenience store parking lot stoners. Black-and-blue bruisers "Anthem" and "Bad Thing" benefit from some chicken-fried riffing, but Tuff is just as good in the […]”
The Other
“Kyle Thomas’ fifth album as King Tuff is more fleshed out and lustrous than before, now preoccupied with death, environmental degradation, and technological dependency.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
