About Me

Speedway King is a power trio hailing from Antwerp, Belgium. The recipe for the music is simple: heavy grooves, catchy riffs and a blow-off-your-feet sound to match them. First and foremost, Speedway King wants to be a live band. Although serious effort is put into recording songs and releasing them, there is nothing as rewarding as a live performance. The atmosphere, interaction and sheer volume cannot be matched by any recording.The bandmembers are mainly influenced by '60s and '70s garage- and hardrock. This shines through in the music, but is served with a more heavy, fuzzed-out sound on top of it. Old style tube amps and "bonham-style" drums are just what the doctor ordered to give the music the foundation it needs while still maintaining a high "tapping factor".Of course, all of the above is just mumbo-jumbo... We're just a heavy-ass rock band who likes to get on stage.Rock on!..
