Between Kings are at once a throwback to those times when rock ‘n’ roll music could save your life and a glimpse into its possible future. Formed while attending music college in Brisbane, Australia, the band’s 2018 debut album, The Escape, is aptly titled in that all four members moved from Down Under to Los Angeles to pursue their plan for world domination.
Their first release showed off the group’s penchant for arena-rock choruses and emo-punk influences like Blink-182, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park and Rage Against the Machine. Their new five-song EP demonstrates a real progression in songcraft, a modern-day pop hybrid that incorporates scratching, synths and even hip-hop beats.
With original tracks recorded Down Under, Between Kings arrived in L.A. to complete the songs under the guidance of eclectic producer Jimmy Messer [AWOLNation, Kygo, Kelly Clarkson, Selena Gomez, Enrique Iglesias], who gave them a radio-ready pop sheen.
The band’s writing and production are tied to their ability to play the songs live. After touring Australia with the likes of Escape the Fate, and experiencing solid U.S. radio airplay on their first album (#144 on Billboard’s Top 200 Alternative Radio charts), Between Kings has made the move to the U.S. with the help of the Regime’s veteran artist manager Kevin Zinger.
