We are a post hardcore band from Tulsa, OK

Dropout Kings are a generational evolution of rap infused rock bands such as Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit, fusing together heavy metal sounds with the progressive rhythms of hip hop and trap music. Dubbing it as ‘Trap Metal’, DOK prides themselves on pioneering and molding the genre, crafting unique soundscapes that feel familiar yet fresh and innovative. Songs like ‘Scratch & Claw’ feature impactful and introspective rap lyrics and haunting yet passionate vocals over polished, metal inspired, instrumentation, while ‘Going Rogue’ pushes the creative threshold of what a band can excel to be. Dropout Kings, formed in 2016, have already garnered millions of streams from their debut album, AudioDope, which was released August 10th, 2018 through Napalm Records. The group signed to the label before they even performed their first concert, confirming the band’s raw talent and creative fortitude. AudioDope went on to receive rave reviews, being herald for it’s refreshing yet nostalgic sound while blurring the lines between rock and hip hop. In 2019, Dropout Kings signed to Stay Sick Recordings and released the GlitchGang EP. In 2021, DOK signed with Suburban Noize Records and re-released the GlitchGang EP, only further cementing them as a force to be reckoned with. With their latest release and more tours on the way, it is clear that Dropout Kings are on a quest to make the world hear their story.

“Trust the process. Your time is coming. Just do the work and the results will handle themselves.” - Tony Gaskins These are the words Chicago’s rising Metal/Rock group, DEADSHIPS, have shadowed since 2007. Formerly performing under the name, From All Within, the band was forged by five childhood friends – David Kvistad, Kyle Yocum, Petr Keres, Kyle Church, and James Pezanoski. After promptly making themselves a household name in the greater Chicagoland area, the band showcased their talent across the United States with relentless DIY touring. As time goes on, change is most definitely inevitable. In 2014, the band rebranded under the name, DEADSHIPS, and made their initial appearance at Van’s Warped Tour in Milwaukee, WI. Before long, the band inked their first record deal with powerhouse STAY SICK RECORDINGS. In October, 2016 their debut album, ‘The Darkness That Divides Us’, dropped while supporting The Amity Affliction’s “This Could Be Heartbreak Tour” and landed on Billboard charts at #8 - Indie, #24 - Hard Music, and #27 – Heatseekers. Presently performing as a quartet, the group showcased their newly matured sound by releasing their brand new single, “Meaningless”, on August 31st, 2018. With efficacious melodies, commanding riffs, and momentous lyrics, DEADSHIPS’ second full-length album is one of the most anticipated albums of 2019.
