KoL are one of those band that divide people. You

either dig the howling and rattling of their garaged- up Skynyrd blues or reckon they're just a bunch of one-trick ponies sans a decent trick. New album Because of the Times (reviewed on page 63, fact fans) is more of the same cunning rumble with the occasional moment of epic grandeur or Pixie-esque thunder thrown in. Which, like I say, is all the recommendation -— or warning you might need.
