I love the sound of '70s glam records. I love that snare sound. The recordings I like, it's all based on if the snare sounds good. The drums have to sound great. King Tuff 70sbasedrum Change image and share on social
I like recording by myself wherever I can, just because then I feel like I have ultimate freedom, and I can just control whatever I want to put down. There's something about going into your own little world. King Tuff controlfeelfreedom share on social
I'm in East L.A., like Mount Washington, Highland Park. There's a little strip that they're gentrifying, trying to make a hip spot, but you go there, and it's just kind of barren. Nobody hangs out anywhere in L.A. There's no loitering in L.A., so I don't know what to do with myself. King Tuff barreneastgentrifying share on social
It's hard to talk about it without sounding like a hippie. But trees are really inspiring to me. They're like the masters of the earth. King Tuff earthhardhippie Change image and share on social
I ended up doing these other diverse things, but King Tuff is the thing I always wanted to come back to - just good, straightforward rock n' roll. That music is the most me, you know? King Tuff backdiverseend Change image and share on social
Both labels are super awesome, with super awesome people who want to get stuff done. The biggest difference is that Sub Pop is already established, but working with Burger seems like we're part of something. They're growing, and I'm growing with them. They're my friends, and we're doing it together. King Tuff awesomebigburger share on social
I have a 15-passenger van, which is not fun to drive in L.A. ever. King Tuff drivefunpassenger Change image and share on social
Over time, certain people don't want to go on tour, and that can easily break up a band. King Tuff bandbreakeasily Change image and share on social
I'm not a huge practicer, which is probably not a good thing because my band definitely needs to practice. King Tuff bandgoodhuge Change image and share on social
