_{The first interview I did for Rock Radio NI was with Clifford Hoad from KINGS OF THE SUN and THE RICH AND FAMOUS back in October 2010. At that stage Clifford was just starting to put together plans following the demise of The Rich And Famous and the interview focused largely on his past (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/662-clifford-hoad-kings-of-the-sun-interview.html). Now almost three years later, Clifford Hoad’s Kings of the Sun are releasing “Rock Til Ya Die” the first album by the band in 20 years. Check out our recommendation - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/1291-ni-rocks-recommends-qrock-til-ya-dieq-by-kings-of-the-sun.html. It seemed like a really good time to catch up with Clifford and find out what he’d been up to over the past three years and what he had planned for the future.}

NI ROCKS recommends "Rock Til Ya Die" by KINGS OF THE SUN

_{I’m really delighted to have received the new Kings of the Sun album “Rock Til Ya Die” in advance of its release; at a date still to be confirmed. The line-up may have changed with former lead singer Jeff Hoad no longer being in the band, but Clifford Hoad has done an excellent job taking over on lead vocals as well as retaining the drummer’s seat. The band promised to deliver “high voltage Aussie rock” and that is exactly what they’ve done. The album has a real classic, gutsy, no-nonsense rock n roll vibe.}

_{We did an interview with Kobra Paige from Canadian rockers Kobra And The Lotus at the start of the year, shortly after they’d finished off a tour supporting Buckcherry - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1147-ni-rocks-interview-with-kobra-and-the-lotus.html}

_{Needless to say we’re big fans of the band so I thought I’d share the press release that we got from our friends at Spinefarm Records announcing a European tour this autumn (unfortunately no dates in N Ireland) and news of a TV documentary featuring the band.}
