King Ropes

**King Ropes** is the brainchild of Montana-based songwriter Dave Hollinghurst, blending gritty Americana with desert-rock vibes and a touch of psychedelic twang. Born from Hollinghurst’s move from Brooklyn to Bozeman, the project marries raw, rootsy storytelling with fuzzed-out guitars and a laidback Western spirit. Their sound—evident in tracks like "Live Like an Animal" and the hypnotic "Hello Sun"—feels like a dusty road trip through wide-open landscapes, balancing introspection with rollicking grooves. Recent releases like *Idaho* and *Super Natural* showcase their knack for blending earthy lyricism with unexpected sonic textures, while live shows crackle with the energy of a band that’s equally at home in dive bars and under big skies.
