A full-throttle follow-up to The Action Is Go, King of the Road doubles down on Fu Manchu’s signature fuzzed-out riffs and road-obsessed energy. With killer contributions from Scott Hill, Brant Bjork, and Bob Balch, it’s all pounding rhythms, chugging grooves, and massive hooks. A loose concept album about the freedom of the road, it features anthems like “Hell on Wheels,” “Boogie Van,” and a roaring cover of Devo’s “Freedom of Choice.” A slab of pure stoner rock, built for the highway.
