A date in Norfolk? Cool, I might have to check that out, I love both Scale The Summit and Reign of Kindo.

Spring Tour

I'll hopefully be making it out to the Pittsburgh show to see these guys for the first time live!

I immediately texted my bro that pic, he is a huge fan and I'm kinda into them too

. I was blown away to see Jacksonville on that list. I always had them on the list of bands that likely wouldn't come to my area. Guess I was wrong in the best way

. All of a sudden, April is shaping up to be a very musical month

Saw Kindo last night in a small ass club with like 50 people there. It was freakin' awesome. It's the type of experience you hope for with any band. Small, intimate, amazing. We had a few beers with the band afterwards and chilled with all the guys. They were genuinely excited that some guys from Florida are such huge fans of their little band from Brooklyn. They said they were here five years ago, there were two people there, and the bass player played the show in his underwear. So, it's getting better, but if your city is on this list, GO! There is no possible way you will regret it. It went from being another concert to being a musical experience I likely won't forget. Matthew Santos was awesome as well.

Hmm. Kind of like Protest the Hero's Pacific Myth. I don't like having to wait 10 months for the full album to come out but I think I am going to sign up.

Just one thing I'm wondering: Will there be a physical release of this at the end or is it just digital files again? I'm not sure whether I want to pay for just the digital files again, I liked Pacific Myth by PtH but I hate not having it in physical form.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #42 on:** September 21, 2016, 10:35:39 AM »

Sounds like something I might like. I've given them a little listen and it sounds interesting.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #43 on:** September 25, 2016, 02:44:12 AM »

If you like a neo-classical ballroom kind of style, check out their song "Romancing a Stranger" and work your way into the album that song is from, titled "Play With Fire". If you're more into the relaxed jazzy kind of approach check out "Let It Go" if you want vocals and the title-track off that album if you want instrumental. Then check out that album, titled "Rhythm, Chord & Melody".

Anyway, The Reign of Kindo just posted this video: https://www.facebook.com/thereignofkindo/videos/10154418834095390/
They sold me on this one

definitely going to sign up for that Patreon thing, I know these guys will not disappoint. I hope this 'releasing one song a month' thing does not become a trend amongst record companies some day, more and more independent bands seem to do it though.

lordxizor · « **Reply #44 on:** September 25, 2016, 06:53:21 AM »

I can't stand the release one song at a time thing. I just don't listen to music that way. I like albums.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #45 on:** September 25, 2016, 07:58:46 AM »

Yeah it's very frustrating to have to wait 1 month for each song. Maybe this is the only way they will be able to get enough income to keep touring or something? They don't play enormous venues so.

lordxizor · « **Reply #46 on:** September 25, 2016, 08:12:00 AM »

Yeah, I understand it might make financial sense for smaller bands. And I acknowledge that I'm in a small minority that still regularly listens to albums rather than just singles. I just hope they release everything in album for when all the individual tracks are released..

Train of Naught · « **Reply #47 on:** September 25, 2016, 08:19:28 AM »

Luckily, the following quote suggests that it will be released as a full album after all the individual songs have been revealed (just hoping for a physical release though, that's not always a given these days):

Quote

You will be amongst the few and privileged members of our inner circle who get to hear our new recordings as they are completed! These recordings will not be available to non-patrons until the entire album is complete and officially released.

https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?patAmt=1&u=2341654

So the only privilege that patreons get is getting to hear the tracks beforehand. I actually think I am going to sit this one out because similar to you, I do not like listening to singles nearly as much as full albums. And most of the DTF community is probably like this. While I do like this band, I do not feel as dedicated to supporting them financially as I did with Protest the Hero when they did something similar to this, almost a year ago. I am a much bigger PTH fan than I am of TROK.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #48 on:** September 26, 2016, 09:51:51 AM »

I guess I just support them however I can, and with the hope that they will release everything as a single release at some point and, and in a physical format. But yes, they are releasing this new music per Patreon for financial reasons. Their last album was put out per Pledgemusic, and they did a tour a couple of years ago that was funded through Crowd-funding; so it's not really a new thing for them.

Their name should be The Ultimate Reign of Kindo, just so their acronym could be TUROK!!

new track "City of Gods" just was posted and it's proggy as shit in the middle.

anyone else been digging the new tunes they've been putting up on their Patreon? The latest "About Love" is fantastic. Sort of ballady, and then it builds to this dreamy as hell section.

ariich · « **Reply #52 on:** May 02, 2017, 03:35:48 PM »

I don't do patreon type stuff, but glad to hear it's good. Assuming this is building towards an album then I'll definitely get whatever they put out!

Yup, this is me. If they put material out on an album I'm there!

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #54 on:** June 02, 2017, 05:58:38 AM »

another great new track "Return to Me" put up on the Patreon. Love the way it slowly builds.

Also this acoustic Fleetwood Mac cover of "Dreams" (at $10, higher than what I'm paying), which has been put on YouTube now.

it sounds like they will be releasing an album with many of the songs from Patreon soon, but also continuing with Patreon for the album after their new/next one.

That being said, the newest track "Poor & Hungry" is an absolute banger!

So funky and catchy, my wife actually felt weird to admit tapping her toes to it.

Nekov · « **Reply #58 on:** December 04, 2017, 05:30:36 AM »

I can't wait to hear the new album, I really like what these guys do

The Walrus · « **Reply #59 on:** December 22, 2017, 09:29:20 AM »

Finally was in the mood to check out Reign of Kindo today and just wrapped up Rhythm, Chord, and Melody. Some really tasty stuff. My favorite things about it are that it's not afraid to take it slow, and the saxophone and piano playing is just lovely. Gotta have more music like this in my collection.

ariich · « **Reply #60 on:** December 22, 2017, 09:31:43 AM »

Were you at all prompted by my round winning submission in Sacul's roulette?

Welcome to the club, either way! Kindo are awesome.

Hah! A little bit, honestly. Got tired of missing out (multiple reasons - the chief one being I'm just really bad at concentrating on new music at home so I always play new stuff at the gym or at work). This album sounded really fresh and different, so I can't wait to hear the rest.

EDIT: Had to check Sacul's roulette again and yup, I really enjoyed that song too.

mikeyd23 · « **Reply #62 on:** December 22, 2017, 09:52:03 AM »

Kindo are awesome!

If Rhythm, Chord, and Melody is where you started, that's a great album to begin with. IMO, it's their best.

Yeah it's my favourite overall still, but Play With Fire was brilliant too.

I agree about Play With Fire. My initial reaction wasn't great, but it grew on me over time, now I dig it.

utopiarun · « **Reply #67 on:** December 22, 2017, 01:46:34 PM »

In my opinion Rhythm Chord and Melody is their best and most accessible album. I first heard of them through the old MP board where someone posted a video of "Just Wait" that hooked me in right away. It's still my favorite song of theirs.

I have downloaded 12 songs from their upcoming release(s). They are kind of tough to get into, many twists and turns and unconventional things going on but I am starting to get the songs better in my head. All their albums post "Rhythm" are growers.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #68 on:** December 22, 2017, 06:35:55 PM »

the Self-Titled EP is also really good, and often not mentioned enough.

So, what's the deal with their 8-bit remixes?
