RICHMONT,
VA., Canada (Porn Kinks Official Website) - They've already shared the
stage with the likes of Papa Roach, 3
Doors Down,
Sum 41 and Unwritten
Law, to name a few. Now, as their single "
Alone" buzzes loudly at
radio, Los Angeles-based THE PROM KINGS--four creative brothers,
related not by blood but the sturdy bonds of harmony and rhythm--will
release their self-titled debut this summer via Three
Kings Records.
The band has just wrapped a leg of tour dates and will perform at the
massive Y101 Birthday Bash on May 22 in Richmond, VA.
Produced
by Michael Carney and Andrew Duncan, the group's debut is a
white-knuckle assemblage of scorched earth anthems, funk-inflected
dance rockers, goth-metal epics and spiraling, orchestral ballads that
reconcile hard rock and emo sensibilities. THE PROM KINGS--CHRIS CARNEY
(vocals), JOEY HOLLEARN (guitar), MAURICIO BRANDAO (bass) and LUKE
PICKERILL (drums)--traverse the musical map, offering hard rock fury
("Angels," "Fade," "
Better Man"), party-hardy jams on ("
Birthday"), and
fearlessly passionate balladry ("
The One") in equal measure. THE PROM
KINGS also features guest vocals by hip-hop phenomenon
The Game on
"Down."
The band's all-or-nothing approach is summed up on the
debut single, "Alone." With its hip-thrusting rhythms and explosive
chorus, this scornful kiss-off to a former lover doubles as a rebuke to
the handicapping naysayers who underestimated THE PROM KINGS. "
Alone"
is already receiving early adds and strong support from: WRIF-Detroit,
WIIL-Chicago, KDGE-Dallas, KBPI-Denver, WEBN-Cincinnati, WEDG-Buffalo,
WQBK-Albany, WIYY-Baltimore, WPBZ-West Palm Beach-Miami, WDYL-Richmond,
KOMP-Las
Vegas and KBER-Salt Lake City, to name a few.
