“This record was me trying to take everything I love as a listener  and a player and shove it all into one thing without it sounding random, ”says Hunter Pinkston, former punk turned cosmic country auteur, describing ‘You Know Who’, the boisterous, ambitious sophomore album by his band The Pink Stones. Ostensibly they play country music, yet all the pedal steel  sobs, the two-steppin’ rhythms, twangy harmonies, and lyrics about broken hearts and long days on the road are launch pads for wild experiments and unexpected stylistic forays. “There’s obviously a lot of country and rock in our music, but there’s a lot of gospel and soul and psych and dub.

With genre bending improvisations from lead guitarist Kevin Hinder and bassist/vocalist Ace Engfer, KHS has become a dynamic full band capable of bridging the gap between all out rock n’ roll and their harmony-driven acoustic roots. The addition of drummer Eggy Gorman has seen the band grow into a road-driven force, hungry for live music, delivering high-energy rock shows across the country.
