THE PROM KINGS
SET TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM THIS SUMMER
AS THEIR SINGLE “ALONE” BUZZES LOUDLY AT RADIO
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.
THE PROM KINGS’ intense and aggressive video for “Alone” was lensed by Michael Carney and can be viewed at–http://www.thepromkings.com/video.html?video=’media/alone_med.mov and http://music.yahoo.com/musicvideos/.
“We’re ready,” says CHRIS CARNEY, “The goal for this band is complete world domination. If we settled for anything less, we wouldn’t be doing our jobs.”
