American Princes

American Princes' record Other People was named Best Album of 2008 by Magnet Magazine, which wrote, "American Princes earned the crown this year for reinventing the retro-'80s wheel and bending it to their considerable songwriting skill. co-frontmen David Slade and Collins Kilgore employ enough hot-wired pop/punk hooks and lonely-hearted lyrics to melt plastic." A pop/rock group based in Little Rock, AR, the five-piece also includes guitarist Will Boyd (Evanescence), bassist Luke Hunsicker, and drummer Matt Quin. After an appearance at Bonnaroo this year American Princes have been working in Manhattan on their follow-up album with Other People producer Chuck Brody (Stars, Ra Ra Riot).
