"KINGDOM, from Philadelphia, PA, is straight forward hardcore, no excuses and no apologies. Bringing hardcore back to what it once was with songs of substance. Moved by their vegan and straight edge lifestyles, KINGDOM delivers a message that is undeniable: we are not alone in this planet/community/scene."-Trasher Zine
Made sick by watching what was once a counter-culture spin mindlessly down into an abyss of meaningless lyrics, masturbatory mosh calls, and mainstream mentality, a community that was once socially aware and politcally potent regress into a scene that condones bigotry and conservative religious bullshit, a place that was one served as a safe haven for outcasts and underdogs degenerate into a venue for assholes to posture and flex, where kids traded their rage for a pair of sneaks and bands traded their ideals for merch sales- a few friends got together and formed KINGDOM. Hailing from South Philadelphia (arguably the greatest neighborhood in the US), these 4 vegan straight edge kids kick out modern hardcore with old school ethics, lyrically speaking out against oppression in all forms- from animal exploitation and global labor abuse to poverty and rape, from far-reaching atrocities to personal catastrophies, contrasting feelings of hopelessness with those of empowerment. In only a year and a half of being a band, KINGDOM has toured the country 4 times in their veggie oil powered bus and released a 6 song demo/EP on Goodbye Blue Skies records. They have a 4 song 7" coming out on New Age Records in spring of 2008, and full length coming out on Eulogy Records later this year.
