Berlin-based rock collective Kings & Pills have burst open with "Roadkill", a scorching alternative rock single. A melting pot of influences as they mix sounds and cultures from Romania, Iceland, Sweden, Finland, and Germany, resulting in something incredibly explosive.
"Roadkill" is raw, sharp, and unsparing, carrying the grime of alternative rock with a contemporary edge, revealing music that sounds both reckless and purposeful. The vocals pierce the surface with urgency, underpinned by the propulsive drums that tether the song to its ferocity. This track explores the imagery of impact and survival, examining what happens when life collides with chaos. It is a metaphor for resilience, of being tall in the face of what tries to pitch you low.
The band appears to channel it into something cathartic and electrifying. "Roadkill" is evidence that their alchemy was the real thing and potent. In a landscape that frequently seems soaked with repetition, they come with an edge that feels natural and not forced. With this single, Kings & Pills announce themselves as a band who are not afraid to be loud, brash, and unapologetic. "Roadkill" is a stark announcement, one that's not easily forgotten.
