Hawaiian rock band KILROY debut new song COMPROMISE


Oahu-based rock band KILROY play mostly original, hard rock. "Compromise" is a lilting song, written by vocalist Doyle Purdy. The lyrics are largely self-explanatory and refer to mutual understanding and compromise as necessary ingredients to make a romantic relationship enduring.

In the video above, you can see and hear Compromise being performed live for the first time at RIMPAC, Pearl Harbor, 2010. Caitlin Quantz on drums, John Manzanares on bass and Richard Barber on lead guitar.

If you like what you hear, check out KILROY at their next gig on the Hawaiian island of Hawaii.

KILROY is very happy to welcome new bassist John Manzanares. As well as playing rock bass, John is also an accomplished blues, funk, grunge and alternative musician. On top of that, he's also a singer, lyricist, songwriter, session and studio musician! He uses a custom made bass with a Peavey head and custom cabinet.

John is pictured, left, performing with KILROY at RIMPAC 2010 - entertaining the Australian, Japanese and American navies here in Oahu, Hawaii.
