Thunder Bay Alt Rock Outfit Luke Warm & The Cold Ones Take A Moment To Reflect With New Single “Kip City”
Inspired by their hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario, alt-rock group Luke Warm & The Cold Ones turn their small town experiences into punchy tunes, combining introspection with charming hooks and melodies.
Their new single “Kip City” is no exception, as the band focus on the important things in life, and turn away from chasing temptation and trying to please everyone.
Named after rhythm guitarist Kyle (nicknamed Kip), Kip City is a fictional run-down town full of good times and empty promises. Similar to the island in Pinocchio where the boys turn into donkeys, it may look tempting initially, but it comes at a price.
About the song, the band explains: “Time seems to fly by faster every year but ironically when you want it to go faster, it almost seems to grind to a halt. The main character in this song has spent so much time living in the moment that she has no connections and no place to call home — that longing to go home has left her frozen in time”.
Leaning into the rich Canadiana rock sound, “Kip City” gradually finds its peak as the band kick into high gear for its commanding finale.
Alongside the tune, the band have shared the playful new music video, check it out below:
