King’s X, the band formed by bassist, songwriter, and vocalist Dug Pinnick, guitarist Ty Tabor, and drummer Jerry Gaskill roughly 40 years ago, has pushed musical, lyrical, and even technological boundaries since its debut. Before that, these musical adventurers brushed up against the Christian music subculture as members of Phil Keaggy’s band and others. But despite their early connection to the Jesus Movement – or perhaps because of it – they decided to specifically avoid any connection to the Christian music market when they formed King’s X. Thousands of Christian rock fans nonetheless embraced them, parsing the imagery in their lyrics and wondering where they were coming from.

35 years into their journey, King’s X continues to  innovate in the studio and rock on the stage. Listen in as Dug reflects on a long and – at times heartbreaking life in hard rock.
