Was Dead

Burger Records reissue King Tuff's incredibly sought-after 2008 LP, which rebooted the project after several years of playing with Feathers, and J Mascis collaboration Witch. It cemented Kyle Thomas as a grade-A purveyor of power pop-inclined rock'n'roll: Was Dead features one exhilarating hook after another.

When King Tuff Was Dead, the debut album from over-extended musician Kyle Thomas, arrived in 2008, it was the perfect counterpoint to much of what was pervasive in indie rock circles at the time.

In keeping with this increasingly high demand for the rawest of sounds, Vermont rocker King Tuff has reissued his debut album, Was Dead, on Burger Records.
