American rock trio from Houston, Texas, built around Doug Pinnick (bass, vocals), Ty Tabor (guitar, vocals) and Jerry Gaskill (drums, vocals). Known for tight three-part vocal harmonies and a blend of heavy rock, soul and psychedelic/Beatlesque elements.

Reviews emphasize Ty Tabor's distinctive arpeggio guitar work and sound, Doug Pinnick's deep soulful lead vocals and multi-string bass approach, and Jerry Gaskill's creative drumming. The group's catalog (notably Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, Faith, Hope & Love, Dogman) is repeatedly praised by DeBaser contributors.

DeBaser reviews praise King's X for its unique blend of heavy rock, soul, Beatlesque harmonies and psychedelic guitar work. Reviewers highlight Ty Tabor's arpeggios, Doug Pinnick's soulful low vocals and Jerry Gaskill's inventive drumming. Several albums (Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, Faith, Hope & Love, Dogman) are repeatedly recommended.

For:Fans of hard rock, progressive and alternative metal, guitar enthusiasts and listeners who appreciate vocal harmonies and soulful vocals.

 In my (musical) perfect world, the first four or five albums by King's X would be vying for the title of career-best in stimulating TV debates, steadily placed in the rankings of the best rock albums of all time, with the web and specialized magazines full of their reviews and flattering analyses.
