# KINGSWOOD release new single ‘YOU WRECK ME’ **New Music** — On Your Markus **Published:** 21 May 2025 **Author:** Markus Hamence **Source:** https://onyourmarkus.au/new-music-releases/kingswood-release-new-single-you-wreck-me/ --- **+ Announce NATIONAL ‘THE MIDNIGHT MAVERICKS TOUR’ 2025** **Multi-Platinum & Gold ARIA-certified, ARIA-nominated, and 4x Golden Guitar nominees, KINGSWOOD, **return with a powerful tribute to one of rock’s greatest icons. Blending the raw energy of classic rock with the rich storytelling of modern country, KINGSWOOD have built a reputation for electrifying performances and genre-defying artistry. Now, with their latest release, a bold reimagining of **Tom Petty’s** ‘***You Wreck Me’***, the band reiterate to audiences why they maintain a reputation as one of the most beloved acts in Oz, standing at the crossroads of heartland rock and country soul. The band have also released an official music video for the single, directed by Darcy Newton: Fueled by passion, grit, and a relentless pursuit of sonic authenticity, KINGSWOOD breathe new life into this timeless anthem. Their rendition channels the reckless energy of love and destruction, honoring Petty’s legacy, all the while stamping the song with their own signature blend of soulful harmonies, driving guitars, and unfiltered emotion. On the iconic track and their decision to cover it for their next single, the band expressed: *“It’s love, chaos, and obsession colliding at full speed. The feeling of being completely wrecked by someone, it’s something we’ve all lived through. Surrendering to a force greater than you’re able to control. The reckless pursuit of something you can’t quite hold onto. When we play it, we’re tapping into that raw, untamed emotion—like going into a boxing ring.”  ***KINGSWOOD** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/23578/492009472_1306579614166918_9161186421095512619_n.jpg) From **roaring festival stages to stripped-back honky-tonk sets**, KINGSWOOD continue to push boundaries, bridging the spirit of **Springsteen, Petty, and Alan Jackson** with their own distinctive edge. In uniting the charm and soul of such inspirations with their own, the band demonstrate that *‘You Wreck Me’* is more than just a cover— it’s a declaration of passion, power, and the unbreakable spirit of rock & roll. Alongside the stunning rendition of Petty’s track, KINGSWOOD have announced that they are set to undertake a HUGE lineup of shows across the remainder of 2025, revealing ***THE MIDNIGHT MAVERICKS TOUR****. *Taking place from this month through to October, and spanning **Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Western Australia **and **Queensland**, this colossal tour is not one to be missed! ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/23576/KW-You-Wreck-Me-Artwork.jpg) **THE MIDNIGHT MAVERICKS TOUR 2025 ** *All tickets on sale Friday April 4th 2025 @ 8am AEDT* **[BUY TICKETS HERE](https://www.kingswoodband.com/kwtour)** **Friday 25th April **Barwon Club **Geelong** VIC **Saturday 26th April **Bridge Hotel **Castlemaine** VIC **Friday 2nd May **Sooki Lounge **Belgrave** VIC **Saturday 3rd May** Odessa **Creswick **VIC  **Friday 9th May** Big Easy Radio **Aldinga Beach** SA **Saturday 10th May **Beer Garden Brewing **Port Lincoln** SA **Sunday 11th May **Lefties **Whyalla** SA **Friday 16th May **The Setts **Mildura** VIC **Saturday 17th May **Broken Hill Pub **Broken Hill** NSW **Thursday 22nd May** Crossroads **Dubbo** NSW **Friday 23rd May **Little Albert’s **Bathurst** NSW **Saturday 24th May** The Beer Shed **Leumeah** NSW **Sunday 25th May **Tallagandra Hill Winery **Gundaroo** NSW  **Friday 30th May** William Farrer Hotel **Wagga Wagga** NSW **Saturday 31st May **Brady’s Railway Hotel **Albury **NSW **Sunday 1st June **Longstocking Brewery **Pambula** NSW  **Friday 6th June **Alice Spring Brewing Co **Alice Springs** NT **Sunday 8th June **Mayberry **Darwin **NT **Thursday 12th June **Roebuck Bay Hotel **Broome**, WA **Friday 13th June **Hula Bar **Karratha** WA **Saturday 14th June **Frothcraft Brewery **Exmouth** WA **Friday 20th June **Frothcraft Brewery **Perth** WA **Saturday 21st June **Frothcraft Brewery **Bunbury** WA **Sunday 22nd June **Six Degrees **Albany** WA **Saturday 5th July **Riverview Pub **Tarwin Lower** VIC **Sunday 6th July** Northcote Social Club **Melbourne** VIC **Thursday 10th July** Avoca Beach Theatre **Avoca Beach** NSW **Friday 11th July **Full Throttle Ranch **Buttai **NSW **Saturday 12th July **Backroom @ Coffs Hotel, **Coffs Harbour**, NSW **Sunday 13th July **Beach Hotel **Byron Bay** NSW **Saturday August 30th** Gympie Music Muster **Amamoor State Forest** QLD **Saturday Oct 10th **Savannah in the Round **Kerribee Park **QLD ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfg_C84LsywaMY9QiUKKNNGustnAtMXPXVySBPu3eapksrfyPhYN0OFIH18HCXTpRjVZ6rNZ2PrctQVa5znA_4h4mZLJfoEw4J-u2zAb27CLmj_g6VweN0ewGsGbmelwfKixK4OCQ?key=K3JcvDTzb6KO-49mLlqYCHGy) **PRAISE** *“Fusing the sprinklings of Queen’s rock bravado in with the leather-clad swagged out rock of Queens of The Stone Age, and you’ve got a rough image of where Kingswood sit…”* – **TRIPLE J** *“A lot of bands would like to say they’re the hardest working in Australia, but Kingswood have a stronger claim than most.”* – **TONE DEAF** *“Kingswood deliver a set that has the ability to mesh together everything they have ever done seamlessly into one live sound that somehow just exceeds what you hear on record.
