New music: Kingsley Flood - "I Don't Wanna Go Home"

It's been a few months since I last wrote about Boston's favorite "city-country" band Kingsley Flood.  In that time they took home a Boston Music Award for Top New Artist, took Austin by storm at SXSW and took to the studio to record a follow-up to their fantastic debut Dust Windows.

The first single "I Don't Wanna Go Home" hints that album #2 will pick right up where the americana-punk barnburner Dust Windows left off.  Truth is, this may be my favorite Kingsley Flood track yet, and that's not an easy list to top.  Tongue-twister verses, a sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs chorus, handclaps and a blistering guitar lead all contribute to what should be a summer radio hit (if only mainstream radio played music this good).  The track also shows the band expanding their palette - adding keys and horns to great effect.  Listen here and head to the band's website for tour dates, free tunes and more
