Kingsfall
Hear it Now
Kingsfall -- a band of Texans with a whole lot of heart and an even stronger sound -- will make you believe that change is on the way with one simple play of their soon-to-be hit, "If Only." Or, if you are feeling a little aimless, "you must look to something bigger than yourself," which happens to be the message in their song "Love," a catchy melodic number with John Mayer radio play potential.
With Kingsfall's recent Famecast success where they beat 2,432 bands in a rock contest, and their current 99.96 Buzz Factor in the Play Mayercraft contest, where you can vote for them to win a gig with Mayer himself, this band will not be a secret for long. And, while there's the age old dream of becoming a rock star, few get the chance to be the kind of musician they want. That's not the case for the members of Kingsfall.
For Josh Dufrene, a "small town" guy who grew up in Carthage, Texas, it's not about the glitz and glamour. "I get tired of songs with no real purpose," he said about his desire to create music that "impacts life," rather than promotes mindless materialism. When he writes lyrics, he thinks: "How can I get the listener to feel what I'm feeling?"
In fact, this lead vocalist and guitarist shared a story about one listener in Fort Worth, Texas who was really feeling the music. As the band was leaving a coffee shop gig, Dufrene saw a 14-year-old girl who had been to multiple shows crying on the curb outside.
When he asked her what was wrong she said she was upset because she didn't have any money to buy their album. Though he didn't have any left, he pointed her towards bass player Larry Leicht. After she nearly gave Leicht a heart attack from banging on his car window, her eyes lit up with joy as she ran home with the free CD.
Maybe it's this type of Southern charm, or maybe they're just that good, but either way, this is band will uplift your mood and their rank on your most played list.
