@wickrecords (a Daptone Records imprint) is proud to present the debut single from SoCal’s newest hit-makers, @the.emkays. Comprised of songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist extraordinaires Alec Kersenboom and Anthony @masino._ (Lee Fields, Thee Sacred Souls, Jensine Benitez, Junior Scaife, et al), the group delivers a pair of pop nuggets that draw from the deeper end of the British Invasion spectrum. Similar to some the American teen combos that were blaring out of suburban garages throughout the mid-sixties, The Emkays deliver their brand of anglophilic rock with a soulful earnestness that was absent from many of their British counterparts. The irony of which notwithstanding, The Emkays shine like the North Star, ready to guide a whole new generation of kids to their side of the pond. Out now digitally, 45 is out this Friday September 20th. Stream & preorder at the link in bio. Video by @joloswag69
