London, Ontario-based rising rock act Texas King, are bringing their high energy live show to 20 markets across Canada this spring.
The band’s current single ‘Whatever You Break’ has also risen to #8 on the iHeart Radio Active Rock Chart in Canada.
SWOMP’s Dana Haggith caught up with front man Jordan MacDonald, who discusses the band’s new music, their cross-Canada tour and more. Listen, below:
‘Whatever You Break’, released last month via Known Accomplice / Cadence Music Group, is the band’s highest charting single to date.
A driving power ballad, ‘Whatever You Break’ continues to encapsulate the warmth and honesty that is signature to the band’s alt-rock outpourings.
The song was produced by Brian Moncarz (Yukon Blonde, Moneen, OLP) and recorded at The Tragically Hip’s legendary Bathouse Studio just outside of Kingston, Ontario.
The soundtrack to your favourite memories, Texas King have put 250,000 miles into their van over the past decade – touring all over North America alongside acts like Big Wreck, Last Dinosaurs, and The Glorious Sons – and there’s thousands more miles to go.
Since 2013, they’ve been cutting their teeth on the road and in the studio, so far releasing one album and two EPs that capture the show- stopping passion they’ve brought to stages that include Vancouver’s Ambleside Festival, Ontario’s ParkJam and Hillside Festivals, and Québec’s Festival D’été.
The band kicked off their 2023 tour in Tillsonburg on April 8 and will wrap up in St. Catharines on May 13, with stops in between in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and other Ontario dates.
Texas King is MacDonald, vocals and guitar, Phil Spina, bass guitar and Melvin Murray, drums.
