Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released exclusively for the North American market, 'Kinkdom' compiles tracks from their recent British EPs alongside a handful of singles. The record perfectly bottles the raw, power-chord aggression and snarling rhythm and blues that defined the band's early, proto-garage rock era. It highlights Ray Davies' emerging, fiercely observational songwriting style.
