Reverent as it is prophetic and stark, King Dude has previously shared his spiritual visions with releases on Dais, Avant!, Bathetic, Clan Destine, and Ván records. Pulling together the biblical sound and isolation of the bygone days of revelation with an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, King Dude has woven his own brand of American music.
He brandishes many varied influences in his songwriting. Everything from British Folk, Americana, Country and Blues can be heard in his songs. Even the heavier sounds of Heavy Metal tend to sneak and slither it’s way into the King Dude canon. The resulting songs are much more of a modern day hymn then your average pop song.
King Dude’s music beg’s the soul to lift itself up from the darkness of ignorance, towards the ever shining glorious “Light” that exists outside of all of us yet that which we are eternally connected to and at once connects everyone on Earth.
Since 2013 King Dude released an Ep, a split 7 ” with Urfaust an two split 7″s with Chelsea Wolfe. 2015 saw the release of his new LP “Songs Of Flesh & Blood – In The Key Of Light”.
Totally Wired Records has been making tireless efforts to liberate Vienna´s Independent Scene from it´s shackles of urban politeness.
Bruch, being one of their main acts, have been laying important ground work for the cause, evoking the slapback-electrobilly-ghost that once haunted post punk pioneers Suicide, and providing hit material about stumbling from one sleazy bar to another and being a “Walking Paradox”, equally loving and hating this city.
„You keep me knocking on your door / I’m not a stranger anymore / So let’s forget about our manners / Take me / Take me home Vienna“
