Group members were Petri "Pete" Walli (guitar, vocals), Jukka Jylli (bass) and Sami Kuoppamäki (drums, percussion).
During their existence, Kingston Wall released only three self-financed albums on their own label, Trinity. The albums were Kingston Wall (also known as I) in 1992, II in 1993 and Tri-Logy in 1994.
The group was disbanded by Petri Walli in December 1994. Walli went travelling to India and Norway. The definite end for Kingston Wall came on June 28th 1995 when Walli jumped to his death from a church tower in Helsinki.
After the band's demise, the three Kingston Wall albums have been re-issued as double CD's with bonus tracks by Zen Garden record label (Finland). In 2000, a remix album titled Freakout Remixes was released, which featured trance/techno remixes of Kingston Wall songs by Finnish electronica artists, and in autumn 2005 a 3-disc set titled Real Live Thing was released, which featured live bootlegs from various live shows, available now for the first time ever.

Two Of A Kind
Kingston Wall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stand it if you go
(Chorus:)
And I won't be surprised
when I open my eyes
and I see what it's like
to realize that we're
(End chorus)
No, when will I see you
when will you call, what will I do
Chorus
The feelings I get when I look to the west
are taking me away but I know it's
something to see, it's something to feel
Chorus
The lyrics of Kingston Wall's song Two of a Kind revolves around the idea of separation and the fear of being left alone. The opening lines, "Hey, don't leave me here, I can't stand it if you go," imply a desperate appeal to the person not to leave. The chorus emphasizes the idea of unity and understanding between two people, being "two of a kind" and how the realization of this fact can bring one closer to the other. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the singer's desperation and anxiety about losing the other person.
The second verse focuses more on the uncertainty of the future and the anxiety that comes with it. The singer questions when they will see the other person again, what the other person will do, and how they will cope with the separation. While the third verse offers a possible escape from the worries, the feelings of looking to the West and the excitement it brings, the singer still acknowledges that they will miss the other person.
Overall, the song captures the complex emotions that come with relationships and how separation can lead to anxiety, fear, and desperation.

Hey, don't leave me here
I can't bear to be without you, please don't go
I can't stand it if you go
Your absence will hurt me beyond measure
And I won't be surprised
I expect that what I see next will not shock me
when I open my eyes
After being blinded by denial, I'm now facing reality
and I see what it's like
I witness the truth of our situation
to realize that we're
It becomes apparent to me that we
two of a kind
share a commonality that makes us almost identical
No, when will I see you
I'm eagerly waiting for the next time I get to see you
when will you call, what will I do
I'm anxious to know when you'll reach out to me, and how I should respond
The feelings I get when I look to the west
I have emotions that stir within me when I gaze towards the horizon
are taking me away but I know it's
These emotions are causing me to drift, but I'm aware of what's happening
something to see, it's something to feel
The experience is worth having, as it's rich in sensory input

These guys are one of the most underlooked bands of Rock history. Their sound is not a sound of cult and underrated band, but the sound of sucessful and popular rock band.

I just can't get over Sami's drumming. His drumming is absolutely incredible. Like a few drummers of the 70s, he plays the drums more like a lead instrument than a rhythm. Another song from Kingston Wall Nepal showcases his incredible drumming. Jyli's bass and Walli's guitar riffs are also great.
