Press Reviews "The California Kings have grown into an awesome, straight out, All-American rock and roll act. Seeing them at Micks a while ago brought me into a groove that Johny Thunders and the Rolling Stones used to give folks back in the day when rock-and-roll used to be loose, raw, and real. I'd have to make a generalized comparison to Bowie and Kiss as well, since they keep up a solid hard rock style filled up with some R&B groove from the 70's side of things."
