Combining the vocal styles and songwriting ethos of classic writers of yore, with the angst and adventure of growing up in 1990's Los Angeles, King Washington's music lives amongst the precious realm of fully unexpected yet somehow familiar rock n' roll.

Despite tumultuous times and something of an extended hiatus from performing and recording at the end of 2012, King Washington are set to bring their incredibly kinetic and diverse sound back to the masses. Armed and ready with new tunes and a wildly dedicated fan base, King Washington is comprised of Tyson Kelly (Rhythm Guitarist/Vocalist), George Krikes (Guitarist/Vocalist), Billy Lee (Bass) and Lucas Ventura (Drums); the band has seen a steady rise of popularity within the LA music scene since 2009. Music lovers and critic's alike are consistently impressed by King Washington's compelling musical integrity, pitch-perfect harmonies, and gritty yet infectious musical compositions. On their critically acclaimed debut album, "The Gears," the band worked with Grammy Award winning producer Joe Puerta (Ambrosia, Bruce Hornsby and the Range) for a cross-generational project that's become a quintessential music must-have. "In an ideal world, King Washington would be topping the charts with The Gears. Highly melodic and intellectual without isolating the listener." (7BitArcade.com)

Their explosive charisma and vintage melodic songs are built on heavy handed instrumentation that only grow more impressive in a live setting. They set the room on fire song after song, allowing their infectious sound to earworm its way into your mind, with music that is as inspiring as it is addictive. There's no better way to return to the music scene then by reminding fans of the very reason they fell in love with King Washington in the first place, undeniable talent and music that is expertly crafted by truly immersive and determined musicians.

Their second full-length LP, "Overload" is due out in August 2013. Produced and mixed by Alex Pfender.

"It would be easy to slip into editorial clichés about "bringing back" a certain sound and making it "all their own," but the connection an audience can tie between what they will hear and what they can feel deserves better than that. It was a matter of seconds into my first time experiencing King Washington's music before I knew I had found something I hadn't been exposed to ever before, and I still remember that moment. Clearly. You get the feeling that there isn't a note, lyric or change that isn't in it's perfect place. It's just familiar enough to where you will feel comfortable that you're not being left behind while the song tells secrets, but always unexpected enough to where you won't see it coming. That, my friend, is a delicate balance. And KW stands tall along the precipice." -Lucas Salazar
