Los Angeles-based Rock 'n' Roll force of nature King Leg releases his full-length album debut Meet King Leg today via Sire Records. Listen to Meet King Leg here: https://kingleg.lnk.to/meetkingleg "King Leg is a whiz-kid from the west coast who's got a knack for channeling Roy Orbison and "Sing Your Life"-era Morrissey with equal measures of success. Quite simply one of the freshest voices I've heard in ages. Meet King Leg is a blast." - A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed

King Leg and his band have been playing shows to their growing fan base around LA when they are not on the road opening for album co-producer Dwight Yoakam. Four official music videos have been released off of Meet King Leg to view and share: "Great Outdoors," "Your Picture," "Cloud City," and "Comfy Chair/("A Dream That Never Ends").

Seymour Stein, Chairman of Sire Records thought of the music Joyce creates by saying: "When I heard King Leg's music, I was totally blown away - not just by the immediacy of the songs, but also the extraordinary voice - reminiscent of the great Roy Orbison. King Leg may be young, but musically he is fully mature."

And now, a message from the desk of King Leg:
"Excited and honored that Meet King Leg is out today on Sire Records! I hope it serves well as an introduction to my music. This record has teeth, and it bites. It was a full body experience, recorded in Hollywood's Capitol Studio B at high volumes by a rockin' band. Helmed in the control room by producers Dwight Yoakam and Chris Lord-Alge, it was engineered and mixed at slamming levels that pushed the extreme. Listening to playback in the studio for the first time, these songs surged through my body in a unique way, I believe due to the energy and sonics of that hallowed space and the edgy playing of the band which captured that moment perfectly. So crank it up, because that's how this was made, and I hope you all get a taste of that feeling too!"
Ardently Yours,
King Leg
