High Noon Kahuna Set Nov. 18 Release for Killing Spree
New stuff out of Frederick, Maryland’s ever-vital underground in the form of High Noon Kahuna upcoming debut full-length, Killing Spree. Tim Otis and Paul Cogle have circled each other for years on show and festival bills as members of Akris, Admiral Browning, Black Blizzard, and others, and together with Brian Goad of Internal Void — also Nagato with Cogle — their coming together feels organic in a bound-to-happen kind of way, and High Noon Kahuna‘s sound is suitably nuanced around a heavy rock foundation. These dudes have been at it long enough, together or not, that to expect something individual here is not at all unreasonable, especially given pedigree.
They’re streaming “Another Way Around” — it boggles the mind how you don’t automatically make a song called “Danger Noodle” your lead single; not a marketing major in the bunch — now ahead of the release on Nov. 18, and preorders are, of course, a thing. The PR wire brought the following, because who else would:
HIGH NOON KAHUNA Shares Details Of Upcoming ‘Killing Spree’ Album
High Noon Kahuna is a trio of veteran heavy music musicians based in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. region of Frederick, Maryland. With Tim Otis on guitar (Admiral Browning / Akris), Brian Goad on Drums (Internal Void / The Larrys), and Paul Cogle on Bass and Vocals (Akris / Black Blizzard).
These three cats have been acquainted for many years and, throughout their accord, have consistently supported each other in all their various bands. At the onset of 2022, this crew found themselves with the fortunate opportunity to jam.
And jam, they absolutely did! When like-minded musicians converge, something mystical happens. By bringing years of influence and admiration for all musical genres, High Noon Kahuna has created an unusual style that disobeys the rule of music categorization. Drawing on influences from Surf, Noise, Punk, Western, Shoegaze, Black Metal, and Doom, it’s hard to confine the diversity into a specific box at any given moment.
With their new release, ‘Killing Spree,’ due out November 18th of this year, the band fuses a collective sound from noisy and fuzzy to clean and sparkly, with every gleam in between.
Killing Spree – Tracklist:
01. Parachute
