Interview this week…
Mike Keire ( King Ludd)
Mike Keire and I just start talking immediately when seeing each other on Zoom. No normal intro to his new project “King Ludd” , just old friends rolling into a conversation about finishing an idea that came up in his youth. In the chat Mike touches upon gathering the skills overtime to broach it ; being comfortable in trusting the process, and using the skill of producer to let others shape the music.
Press Release
King Ludd, the brainchild of seasoned producer and engineer Michael Keire, delivers a
blistering debut on “Trouble,” a post-hardcore anthem fueled by tenacity, resilience, and the raw
chaos of creation. With influences spanning from Fugazi to The Mars Volta, “Trouble” thrives in
tension, embracing a cinematic, narrative-driven structure that transcends traditional song
formulas.
The track is born from a deep admiration for the sincerity and drive found in music and art,
channeling the energy of punk, the playfulness of experimental noise, and the fearless spirit of
“skate and destroy.” Keire crafts an auditory experience where each section unfolds like a scene
in a film, utilizing soundscapes and tone as essential storytelling elements.
Featuring Luke Bentham (The Dirty Nil) on lead guitar, Theo Mckibbon (The Trews) on
drums, Linnea Siggelkow (Ellis) on backing vocals, Jon Harvey (The Wild High) on bass,
Marco Bressette (Dead Tired) on rhythm/lead guitar and even more Hamilton, ON talent
Watch the official “Trouble” music video directed by John Smith whose credits include digital
paintings & animations for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as well as video art contributions to
Netflix’s Song Exploder for Trent Reznor/NIN
I wanted the song to feel exciting, unpredictable—like stepping into the unknown and embracing
the madness. Each part had to serve the moment, not just fit into a verse-chorus mold.
Soundscapes and textures matter just as much as melody in evoking a feeling, and I wanted to
use every tool available to make that happen. – Michael Keire (rhythm guitar, the nebulophone
and drum programming)
What you hear is the first take of the completed lyrics—a pure, unfiltered moment. It’s a
channeling of energy right onto the tape. No overthinking, no tinkering, just passionate fervor
and commotion. I ate the big dinner, indeed. – Adam Bentley (vocals)
