We The Kings
Florida rock, from We The Kings.
This band has put together the self-titled CD that includes “Check Yes Juliet,” a song that gives her the choice. Solid musicianship benefits from good production. The vocals are highlighted in just the right way with this tune. While, musically, the song isn’t overly complex, it does justice to the term indie rock or alternative rock.
As for “Skyway Avenue,” enjoy the beginning guitar work. What a treat! Rhythmically, it’s not much different when compared to “Check Yes Juliet.” But as time goes on, bands tend to find a way to express subtle differences in their songs. “Secret Valentine” is a love song of the same pace, though the break/bridge is interesting. Quite big show/stage show production. I listened closely to “Stay Young,” not only for much needed advice on how to do it, but also for any major changes in approach or attack. I didn’t find major differences from the other tunes.
We The Kings are: Travis Clark – vocals/guitar; Hunter Thomsen – guitar/vocals; Drew Thomsen – bass; Danny Duncan – drums. With influences such as Red Bull (what else, considering the generation?), pigeons and soup/salad/breadsticks at Olive Garden, how can you go wrong?
Catch WTK in their home state, in Oklahoma, Arizona, California, Kentucky, Georgia and points between.

We the Kings looks like a bunch of girls in the picture that has been provided. I wander were did they get their band name. Seeing those on myspace would definitely boost their popularity because myspace is one of the best social sites to advertise anything that you want to advertise with them. I know because I’m also doing the same thing.
Decent guitar work, but typical lyrics and vocals that don’t really stand out to me. I like “Stay Young” a bit, but not impressed enough to make me a fan. I’m sure younger teen fans would appreciate this band though.
I think that this band would have much appeal on the younger generation because they have the looks of a teenager. That look would never have an appeal on the matured ones. Teenagers usually like younger bands because they can easily relate to the music that the bands are creating. Another thing that I don’t like about this band is they never change the tune. Maybe creating some changes will help them. I remember that Vitamin C did it before.
