The Speed of Sound with Kyle Meredith: Kaleo

There’s a common misconception outside of the music industry, but for those of us that get to see the sausage made on a regular basis know, there is no such thing as an overnight success. Take Kaleo for instance. 2016 was definitely the year they seemingly came out of nowhere, an Icelandic band with a love for gritty blues rock, but what most didn’t see were the years spent in their native country, then a strategic move to Austin, their 2013 debut LP and it’s accompanying EP. Still, what they have accomplished in the time they’ve been at it is no small feat, accumulating millions of listens across streaming services, and plenty of sold out shows.
