About

Blackwood Kings

since circa 2012
Originally formed almost 15 years ago, Blackwood Kings is one of Victoria’s longest running and most beloved underground bands. Blending elements of reggae, dub, punk, and ska with experimental flourishes and dazzling musicianship, these boys play a progressive take on rebellious soundclash that is uniquely their own.
