Q&A: Kongos Talk New Single 'Take It From Me' & What It's Like to Be an 'Egomaniac'
FUSE TV - Q&A: Kongos Talk New Single 'Take It From Me' & What It's Like to Be an 'Egomaniac'
You've heard Kongos—the four-piece band of brothers from Arizona—at least once a month for the past two years. I can guarantee it. Their anthemic, accordion-driven alt-jam "Come with Me Now" has been all over radio and found a home on the Expendables 3 soundtrack, American Idol, The Originals, WWE, Playstation 4 and more. The guys—Danny, Jesse, Dylan and Johnny— have been touring intensely in the years since their second album, Lunatic, was re-released by Epic Records, opening for Kings of Leon in the U.S. and OneRepublic in Europe. Like I said, they've kind of been everywhere.
But now they're onto something new. On Friday (April 15), the South African-born brothers, who write, produce and mix everything themselves, released the first single off their upcoming third LP, Egomaniac, and it's the epitome of what the album's all about: feelin' yourself and not letting anyone get in the way.
