Pretty crazy. Many years ago as a completely independent band we released a couple of albums into a vacuum. No label, no manager, no publishers, no agents etc. Next year we will be releasing 3 albums...again as an independent band. Can’t wait for you all to hear what we’ve got in store. Thank you to all our fans out there for your support - See you out on the road. #2018artistwrapped #spotify @spotify @spotifyforartists

OUT NOW link in bio — “Pay For The Weekend” is in a way the title track from the band's upcoming album, 1929. When asked about the song, Jesse Kongos said, “It’s about the up and the down and how they can’t exist without each other. There’s nothing like coming down from a big weekend to remind you that maybe today or maybe some time down the line the effect of every cause will eventually play out and start the cycle all over again.” Returning to blaring guitar riffs, gang vocals, South African drum rhythms, and a melodic chorus, it embodies the KONGOS sound they've become known for - and to quote the first verse, it will "make you want to party like it's 1929." Jesse added, “We didn’t hold back when it came to making the chorus and groove like an arena-ready chant, but at the same time we didn’t want to lose the sentiment and real meaning of the lyric. I think we were able to achieve that by using an upright piano and some of our dad’s vintage synthesizers like the Jupiter 8 amongst other things to bring out the underlying harmony which had a kind of pathos to it”. 📷: @jonnymarlow
