Their combined creativity results in music that expresses their shared experiences and influences. aKing’s debut album, Dutch Courage (the band members are Afrikaans), was released on February 1, 2008. The material was recorded at BSharp Studios in Boksburg, Gauteng, and contains 11 original English rock tracks.
Delivering three No 1 hit singles, Dutch Courage has been hailed as one of the best rock releases in South Africa .
