Who says fireworks only go off on the Fourth of July?
On Friday, July 5th, rock / post-hardcore band SPEAKING THE KING’S from Orange County held a release party for their Here To Stay EP (out NOW in North America) at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California and it went off like a stick of dynamite!
Band members recall the memorable moments from that unforgettable evening:
“It was a great night! The show was really smooth; it seemed everything just lined up the way it should. Our pre-show ritual didn't change much, but the excitement prior to playing was at an all-time high. To know you have worked so hard on something and spent so many nights perfecting was finally available to everyone was definitely a very proud moment. The crowd at Chain Reaction was AMAZING. It was great seeing all of the familiar faces, returning fans, and a bunch of new faces in the crowd. The support of fans and friends make all of this possible. We can't thank everyone enough. There was hardly a moment to catch our breath and before we knew it, we were finishing up our last song. It was awesome hanging out after the show talking to the fans we've known for a while and meeting new STK fans. Hearing people say how excited they were to get our EP was indescribable. We put a lot into it, and we are really excited to get the EP out there!”
