Citing such influences as Shiner, Fugazi, Shudder To Think, and Foo Fighters, Kingfield has created a stylistically diverse record that all falls within the genre of “rock”, but no two songs sound alike.
“Letters Post Mortem” began as a series of demos that Brett was writing, and self-recording, between Atmosphere tours. The songs were inspired by his battle with cancer, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, which ended with him as the victor. He has been in remission
since June 2002.
Brett passed out the demo recordings to a few of his musician friends, hoping they would learn their parts and practice them to perfection. They did as much, and as a result, “Letters Post Mortem” was recorded at Vaudeville MPLS Studios upon Brett returning from his Fall 2005 Tour with Atmosphere.
On “Letters Post Mortem”, KINGFIELD is:
Brett Johnson (Vocals/Guitar)
Mark Messina (Drums)
Jeremy Jessen (Guitar/Vocals)
Shane Baskerville (Bass)
The street date for this CD is set for Tuesday December 5th, 2006.
Kingfield will tour the US & Canada in support of “Letters Post Mortem” throughout 2007.
