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 reiterate to audiences why they maintain a reputation as one of the most beloved acts in Oz, standing 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, honoring Petty's legacy, all the while stamping the song with their own signature blend of soulful harmonies, driving guitars, and unfiltered emotion.
On the iconic track and their decision to cover it for their next single, the band expressed: "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." KINGSWOOD
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. In uniting the charm and soul of such inspirations with their own, the band demonstrate that 'You Wreck Me' is more than just a cover" it's a declaration of passion, power, and the unbreakable spirit of rock & roll.
Alongside the stunning rendition of Petty's track, KINGSWOOD have announced that they are set to undertake a HUGE lineup of shows across the remainder of 2025, revealing THE MIDNIGHT MAVERICKS TOUR. Taking place from this month through to October, and spanning Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland, this colossal tour is not one to be missed!
