You can now watch King Tuff’s new, epic GoPro-filmed, Mike Wartella directed video for 'Madness', a standout from his acclaimed and latest album, Black Moon Spell. 

The FADER, who premiered the new video, says of the clip, “A grungy-looking performance clip with some wacky angles, funny effects, and other clever touches. It's very King Tuff, which means that it's a good tune to rock out to and basically makes you feel like you're in the same room as Tuffy and the boys. Cool!" Here's the man himself to offer some further comment: "The video for 'Madness' was shot by the famous lunatic Mike Wartella on our tour in January. It acts as a visual love letter to our fans and it also documents our romance with smoke machines and gorillas.”
 

In further exciting news, King Tuff has added dates to his spring & summer tour schedule in support of Black Moon Spell. The trek is currently underway, with a 15-date tour as direct support for label mate Father John Misty (March 25th-April 20th / select dates). 
 
Black Moon Spell, featuring the highlights ‘Madness', 'Eyes of the Muse', 'Headbanger', and the title track, was produced & mixed by Bobby Harlow at Studio B in Los Angeles, CA, with the exception of  'I Love You Ugly' and 'Radiation', which were produced by King Tuff. Black Moon Spell is available now through the Sub Pop Mega Mart, iTunes and Amazon.

What people are saying about King Tuff & Black Moon Spell:
“Thomas wins the 2014 glam-rock revival, plain and simple; Black Moon Spell is loaded with sterling examples of the genre from front-to-back.” [First Listen] - NPR Music
 
“Los Angeles-based singer-guitarist Kyle Thomas turns his love for Black Sabbath style metal and T. Rex-style glam into exuberantly scuzzed-out-neo-Seventies guitar rock…But the real treat is his musical showmanship and the grimy guitars, especially on songs like the sweetly lascivious “Sick Mind.” He transforms his heroes’ black magic into debauched fun.” - Rolling Stone

 
“Crunchy riffs, sugary power-pop harmonies and a general beatific dudeness… Your fantasy coast-to-coast road trip will be poorer without this." - The Guardian

“Thomas is a master craftsman with pedigree and Black Moon Spell is scuzzy, wired and bulging with Marc Bolan vocals, riffs Jimmy Page forgot to stick on a Zeppelin album and a bunch of outrageously catchy choruses. Big fun." - NME

Heading straight back into the studio with a mission to freak the fuck out, what emerges is sheer, primordial garage rock ooze. Unrelenting from the off, Black Moon Spell is visceral rock 'n' roll, all blood, sweat, tears and outrageous riffs.” - Clash

"Black Moon Spell is defined by cataclysmic, thrashing crescendos and the kind of grubby riff that tends to be found in Jack White’s “DON’T OPEN: TOP SECRET” drawer.” “His most impressive bit of songwriting yet.” - DIY

 
“Kyle Thomas has made noise with a lot of different bands: Happy Birthday, Feathers, Witch. But he really hit his artistic stride when he renamed himself King Tuff and started knocking out snotty, scabby, attitudinally glammed-out garage rock.” STEREOGUM

"With Black Moon Spell, Thomas seizes that amphetamine groove and launches it into a glittering explosion. It’s an album whose fiber is built on the smoky cigarette haze of a dimly lit dive bar — best served with whiskey and a raucous crowd." -Consequence of Sound
