Imagine that all of rock and roll has converged on one band. Now imagine that band taking on all of rock and roll, and wrestling it to the ground. That band is KING KOOL.



With a beating core of Dan Donovan on vocals and guitars and Pas on vocals and drums, KING KOOL were born from the critically-rated Tribe Of Dan in 2005, stalking the fens like Iggy Pop on the moors stalking the Hound of the Baskervilles. 'Vampin' is their third album due for release on 20th Feb 2010. Their first album 'Roken' took the spirit of the Stooges, the Pixies and Sonic Youth and forced it through the narrow screaming pipes of Motorhead and Black Sabbath. The second album, 'Yeah Yeah Liberté', did the same thing, only more so. The third, 'Vampin', just takes the severed, bleeding heads of the first two albums, bangs them together and creates some of the most utterly fearsome garage punk new wave no wave tidal wave music you have ever heard.



KING KOOL are the sound of your radio finally getting fed up with vomiting out crap year after year and taking the law into its own hands. It’s every gangfight between crack-crazed bikers and acid-addled nerds. It’s got a good beat and you can dance to it. It’s the future of the past and the present of the future.
