<\/div>\ncontemporary edge that those particular early styles lacked to my child ears,\u201d adds Joel. \u201cAnd we don\u2019t sing about getting drunk and laid \u2013 so we probably won\u2019t relate to the fan looking for that sort of immediacy. I’d like to think the music we\u2019re playing has a longer shelf-life than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clearly, PawnShop kings\u2019 musical identity defies easy description \u2013 and not only because of the amalgamation of styles. The lowercase \u201ck\u201d in the band\u2019s name suggests a church-borne intentionality that keeps the brothers as friends and from straying too far from faith and family. \u201cWe love that pawn shops give people a second chance whether or not they use it,\u201d remarks Scott. \u201cOur music and the ability to build upon the gospel roots of our childhood plays as our voice to that spirit of reinvention.\u201d <\/p>\n
PawnShop kings released the short film\/live CD, “brother’s keeper” in August of 2008. Their debut album \u201cLocksley\u201d is available online and at shows.
