Phoenix's hard rock titans unleash a blistering sophomore album that channels the raw essence of classic rock.

Brace yourselves, metalheads! The Phoenix-born hard rock wrecking crew Atomic Kings is set to unleash their sophomore assault, aptly titled 'Too', on October 19th. Available in a variety of formats including CDs, high-quality 180-gram vinyl, and digital downloads, this album promises to deliver a sonic onslaught that’s anything but background noise.

'Too' is described as pure, sweat-drenched, blues-wired hard rock that pays homage to the genre's golden era. Picture the swagger and thunder of 70s legends like Free, Bad Company, and Led Zeppelin, colliding head-on with the modern fire of today's heavyweights like Rival Sons and Dirty Honey. This is music that hits you in the gut, with riffs that will leave you begging for more.

Among the standout tracks is the breakout radio hit “I’m a Mover,” and the band is revving up the excitement with the release of its official music video. Get ready to be engulfed in a world where every note is drenched in raw energy and passion.

And let's not forget the beast holding down the low-end: the legendary Greg Chaisson, known for his iconic work with Badlands and Red Dragon Cartel. When Chaisson plugs in, it’s not just sound—it’s a seismic event that reverberates through your very core. His groove is the secret weapon propelling Atomic Kings into the stratosphere, and on 'Too', he's firing on all cylinders.

Rounding out this powerhouse lineup are vocalist Ken Ronk, guitar virtuoso Ryan McKay (formerly of Crash City Kids), and drummer Jimi Taft (formerly of Ragdoll). Together, they forge a sound that’s both timeless and fresh.

The tracklisting for 'Too' includes: “Burning,” “Don’t Say You Love Me,” “Hard Life,” “Alone,” “I’m a Mover,” “Lady J,” “Learn to Fight,” “Save Me,” and “They Remain.” Prepare to immerse yourself in the hard rock revival that only Atomic Kings can deliver.
