Their debut album, Demimonde, recorded over a five-year period across locations in New York and the members’ native Virginia, draws from material conceived during arduous tour schedules for Baroness, the accomplished hard rock band for which Blickle drummed. Los Angeles/Brooklyn duo Alpaca is comprised of vocalist Justin Nuckols and multi-instrumentalist Allen Blickle. From the opening, urgent cowbell thwacks, it’s an accidental anthem and sounds like they’re hardly trying at all, a trick they lost on their later albums.Alpaca – Demimonde CD/LP+MP3 (Robotic Empire) Rather than megahits ‘Sex On Fire’ and ‘Use Somebody’, the band’s divine ‘California Waiting’ is still their crowning glory – and the slicker ‘Holy Roller Novocaine’ EP version even better. ‘Youth & Young Manhood’ also boasts what is possibly Kings Of Leon’s finest ever song. While the Kings eventually began to experiment with other genres and sonic exploration, their first three studio albums represent a family-band of young hungry musicians paying tribute to their influences, from the raw guitar of Thin Lizzy to the southern-fried Allman Brothers Band, with all the swagger of the Stones. Each of their early albums subsequently embraced and perfected this music, becoming the band's trademark sound for the first part of their career. Kings of Leon burst out of the rural South and into the international consciousness with their distinct, unpolished style of garage rock.
