"Music is embedded in our genetics. Our Father's and Mother's played and so did some of our Grand Parents. It's only right that we carried on the family tradition!" said Jay Hitaffer (King Belvedere-Bassist/Pianist/Vocalist/Song Writer) when remarking about "How the music of King Belvedere came to be?" It's truly amazing how this band developed (in 2004) from brainchild/founder, Jeff McKenney, into the fast moving, up and coming Rock & Roll Royalty they are today. "It was always about writing great music." says Jeff. "Along the way, we found the best musicians we could that had the same ideas and love for music that we did, then we gave them the opportunity to make greatness! With the addition of Jay Hitaffer and "Shredder", Alex T. White, I finally feel that I have King Belvedere right where I want it to be!" The new music has the "Old School" appeal that King Belvedere achieved from their last album, "My Kinda Rock & Roll" , but with a deep 80's edge that will make you want to bleach your hair, grab a bottle of Aqua Net, and BANG YOUR HEAD! 10 Amazing tracks on this album. The first, "You Will Never Break Me" was written by Jay Hitaffer in the 7th grade after surviving 7 years of non-stop bullying. "This song would become Jay's first complete song and his life's anthem. When Jay was asked why he decided to release it now? he stated, "This song kept me alive after so many years of torment. I would sing the chorus' in my head...non stop. With all of the Bullying that's become prevalent in the US, and nothing being done about it, I wanted to help these victims the only legal way I knew how. I showed the song to the boys, and they never hesitated....They made it the first song on the album." Track 2, "Just Because" will have you doing donuts in the mud bog and rejoicing the natural urge to scream "F*CK YEAH!! McKenney once again proves that he has what it takes to write America's next anthem. Stand Up! Get Up! (Track 3) will have you standing on your chair rails, pumping your fist, and banging your head. Definitely and awesome track. We're Alright (Track 4) is a remake of the original from King Belvedere's second album "My Kinda Rock & Roll", with the current line up, added instrumentation, and added 4 part harmonies (vocal arrangement assistance provided by second generation Rocker, Taylor Lee Hitaffer-daugter of Bill Craig of The Nightmen, The Raz, and Jr. Cline and the Recliners). "We're Alright" is one of the KB Fan Club (The Royal Rockers) all time favorite KB Tunes, and soon to be yours as well. "Get Me Off" (Track 5) has a touch of the 70's deep in it's bowels. With the hard driving, low pounding rhythm that KB has become known for, and the added feel of a raunchy blues slide guitar (performed by "Son's of the Radio" Guitarist, Mike Sullivan"), this track is unstoppable! "Ain't Got No Shame" (Track 6) is a remake of the title track of King Belvedere's first full length album. This time around with the current line up, added instrumentation, and added 4 part harmonies. "Black Cloud" (Track 7) Composed by McKenney and Authored by Hitaffer, this song has every chance of becoming the hottest track on this album. "Bad News B**ch (Track 8) A slow driving tune that pays tribute to the most common "Muse" in Rock & Roll Music...Women! "Cold Blooded" (Track 9) Composed by McKenney as a tribute to his "Cold Blooded" nature. This song features vocals by Ms. Taylor Lee Hitaffer. "Endless Road" (Track 10) Composed and Authored by Jay Hitaffer as a heart felt look through personal experiences of "Life on the Road". This amazing piano ballad consists of 12 String Guitar, Electric Guitar, Violin, Viola, Cello, Upright Bass, Timpani, and 4 part vocal harmonies. 10 truly amazing tracks co produced by Recording Engineer Chris Dopkins and Mastered by the Grammy Award Winning, Greg Lukens. This Album has the all the drive necessary to take this band straight to the top. Get to know King Belvedere today! You're gonna love them too!!
