Well, it’s all going off on this one, isn’t it? ‘(She Don’t)
Gimme No Lovin’’ is a chilli-hot appetiser for King King’s new album Exile & Grace, due in October.
Check out the basic ingredients: a prickly guitar intro as a
prelude to a bone-crunching
guitar riff; driving bass from Lindsay Coulson; monster
drums from Wayne Proctor; waves of surging organ from Bob Fridzema, who
channels his inner Jon Lord on a brief solo; a neat guitar break and rocking vocals from Alan
Nimmo, deftly bolstered by harmonies from Proctor and Fridzema.

Then there’s the lurching, neck-snapping bridge into the
chorus, which should come with a health and safety warning when they preface it
with a pregnant pause mid-song – then crash it into a sumptuous key change
that’s the cherry on the icing on the cake.
Okay, so it’s not the most profound lyric they’ve ever
written, but who cares? Coming on like a
mash-up between Whitesnake’s ‘Lie Down’ and Thunder’s ‘Dirty Love’, this is a
shot of rock fever, served straight up.
So what are you still reading this for?
Watch the video – and get ready to rock!
Exile & Grace is released by Manhattan Records on 6 October.
